SVG Kit for Adobe Creative Suite is a software which provides complete support of SVG format for Adobe CreativeSuite, including InDesign and Photoshop, both Mac and Windows, both 32 and 64bit.
In practice, Adobe`s support of SVG file format is limited. For example, you can use Adobe Illustrator to operate SVG files, but you can`t use SVG files as images in InDesign. It means, that you need to convert images from SVG to EPS all the time. (sure, raster formats are not an option).
All changes of SVG images are reflected in InDesign as well. And of course all commands and effects are applicable to SVG images as to any other embedded types.
Now you don`t need to to convert SVG image into EPS every time after changing it; instead of this use SVG natively in InDesign, by placing SVG image on the page. All the changes of SVG image are reflected in InDesign file as well.
Of course all commands and effects are applicable to SVG images as for any other image types. Instead of applying effects to image bounding box, all effects (like figures and text) are applied to image contents.
SVG format support for Photoshop can be really usefull, if you need to apply certain effects, available in Photoshop. Of course you should first transform svg file into raster image, but sometimes it is reasonable (when embeding svg into html code, make collages and so on).
Unfortunately, once you have converted SVG into raster, you loose all layers, figures etc. That`s why the first thing you usually do after that, is splitting raster image into layers, managing colors and so on.
