At the moment, I'm required to submit an ad in PSD format (which I have no clue about). We have the Expression Suite (I have Expression Design 2) and I would like to know how to use Expression Design 2 so that I can submit the ad! Is there a way I can get beginner's training including introduction, orientation, purpose of using ED2???Monday, June 1, 2009 2:22 AM

Hello Nicole,
Thanks for visiting the forum! The PSD file format they are asking for is a Photoshop File Format. You can export your work in Expression Design to this file format and it will retain all layer information.
As for beginner training, I have the following that typically send out to folks requesting how-to or beginnger type instruction for Expression Design 1 & 2:
