Photoshop photo saved as psd file with one layer and layer mask making areas of the photo transparent; edges of transparency are feathered. When I import the photo into InDesign, the transparency does not show. Image behind the transparent part will not show. Admittedly I am somewhat of a novice using transparency, but other times that I have used it has worked beautifully in InDesign. Is there something I should do differently?

The original photo came to me as a tif. I changed the background to a layer. Created a selection, feathered the edges of the selection, then created a layer mask from the selection using "hide selection". Looks beautiful in Photoshop. Does not work in InDesign. Thanks for any help.

Thanks to Bob Levine who solved my problem in the Creative Suite forum. The original photo was 16 bit instead of 8 bit.
