We produce a catalog with thousands of greyscale eps images. These were produced on OS X and Photoshop CS. The printer tells me when they try to open the images in Photoshop 7 (OS 9) that it wants to Parse the eps file and it turns it to CMYK. It is even currupting the file alot of the time.
The images where color and not supposed to be. Also there rip (Scitex) was displaying corrupt images in the ripped file. I have to use eps files right now till I can convince the programmers to make our data base management software handle tiff files. Is there a web site that can show them the advatages of tiff over eps files? Like size of the file is a big one that could make us switch.
A Photoshop EPS which is free of vector objects will open in Photoshop without any warning dialogs about rasterizing.
But an Illustrator EPS, a QXP page saved as an EPS, or a Photoshop EPS which contains type or vector objects, will prompt the rasterization dialog to appear—which gives you the chance to choose both the color space and the resolution that you want to apply to the file.
Yes thanks all. I am aware that files from other programs and vector included files will ask to be rasterized but these are just photos from CS turned to greyscale in CS. I am wondering if I found a bug between files produced in CS and opened in Phtoshop 7 or 6.
Back in the bad old Quark Ages, I used to use EPS for all CMYK images because QXP couldn’t "get at" them and muck them up with its apology for Color Management (like it could with tiffs).
I am working on sending to press a four color calendar/menu for school. The school sent everything in excel the top half is on sheet 1 and covers aprox 35 cells across The bottom half is on sheet 2 and covers 5 cells across.
I have tried various ways to get this to a pdf file with everything joined together.
The biggest problem when I get it there is that the separations are wrong and there is a lot of pixalation which makes the finish product (negatives) fuzzy.
Any help on the steps to get a good copy would help a lot.
BTW 3 of the excel docs were not broken into sheets and I saved them as pdf’s and they printed great.
It the problem seems to be when I try to join the files in photo Shop and then re-saving them to pdf.
