If you're exporting files to an application that
doesn't support the Adobe Photoshop format, use
the Save a Copy command to save a duplicate file
in a format supported by that application.
Note: Only files that were created in Adobe
Photoshop 5.0 support color samplers, editable type
layers, layer effects, spot channels, embedded ICC
profiles, and adjustment layers using the version 5.0
Hue/Saturation or Channel Mixer type. If you edit
or save a file using an earlier version of Photoshop,
these features are discarded.
Saving Adobe Photoshop 2.0 files
(Macintosh only)
Choose the Photoshop 2.0 format to open a file in
version 2.0 or to export to an application
supporting only Photoshop 2.0 files. Saving in
Photoshop 2.0 format flattens your file and
discards layer information.
Saving files in Photoshop EPS or DCS
format
If you have a PostScript printer, you can use the
Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format to share
Photoshop files effectively with many graphic,
illustration, and page-layout programs. The
Desktop Color Separations (DCS) format, a
version of the standard EPS format, lets you save
color separations of CMYK or multichannel files.
You use the DCS 2.0 format to export images
containing spot channels and single alpha
channels.
To print EPS and DCS files, you must use a
PostScript printer. For more information on the
types of files supported by the EPS and DCS
formats, see "About file formats" on page 321.
Note: If you plan to export an image to Adobe
Illustrator or Adobe PageMaker for four-color
process printing, convert the image to CMYK mode
and save it in Photoshop EPS or TIFF format. Saving
a CMYK file as TIFF lets you apply color
management features to the placed image in Illus-
trator 7.0 or PageMaker 6.5.
To save a file in Photoshop EPS or DCS format:
Choose File > Save As or Save a Copy, and
1
choose Photoshop EPS, Photoshop DCS 1.0, or
Photoshop DCS 2.0 from the format list.
For Preview, choose a low-resolution preview
2
type. To share an EPS file between Windows and
Macintosh systems, use a TIFF preview. An 8-bit
preview option results in better display quality but
higher file size than does a 1-bit preview option.
You must save a preview of an EPS image in order
to view the image in the destination application.
Note: To use the JPEG preview option in Mac OS,
you must have QuickTime installed.
