Saving files in Photoshop EPS format (Photoshop)
Virtually all page layout, word processing, and graphic applications accept imported or
placed EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) files. To print EPS files, you must use a PostScript
printer.
To save a file in Photoshop EPS format:
1 Save the artwork, and choose Photoshop EPS from the Format menu. (See
on page 446.)
2 In the EPS Options dialog box, select the options you want, and click OK:
Preview Creates a low-resolution image to view in the destination application. Choose
TIFF to share an EPS file between Windows and Mac OS systems. An 8-bit preview delivers
better display quality but larger file size than a 1-bit preview.
Note: To use the JPEG preview option in Mac OS, you must have QuickTime installed.
Encoding Determines the way image data is delivered to a PostScript output device:
Choose ASCII if you're printing from a Windows system, or if you experience printing errors
or other difficulties.
Binary produces a smaller file and leaves the original data intact. Choose Binary
•
encoding if you're printing from a Mac OS system. However, some page-layout applica-
tions and some commercial print spooling and network printing software may not
support binary Photoshop EPS files.
JPEG compresses the file by discarding some image data. Files with JPEG encoding can
•
be printed only on Level 2 (or later) PostScript printers and may not separate into
individual plates.
Include Halftone Screen and Include Transfer Function Control print specifications for
high-end commercial print jobs. Consult your printer before selecting these options.
Transparent Whites Displays white areas as transparent. This option is available only for
images in Bitmap mode.
