DTP Tools today announced the release of its new Layer Comps plug-in for InDesign CS-CS3. Layer Comps provide a convenient way to store a snapshot of certain key aspects of your documents layers. A simple click in the palette lets you name and save your current view of layer visibility and editing state as a Layer Comp. You can create as many as you like, without substantially expanding your file size.

Layer Comps plug-in is a response to many feature request placed by InDesign users who use this feature in Photoshop and miss it in InDesign. Layer Comps plug-in is sold separately and as a part of Layer Tools bundle, which also contains Layer Groups plug-in. Layer Groups plug-in was also updated today.

Key Features

• Layer Comps allows to save different settings of layer visibility, lock state, order, printability, guide visibility and lock state.

• Comps can be also exported into all formats supported by InDesign. You can export a single comp into .inx as a snapshot or multiple comps into .pdf to show your clients layout alternatives.
