•
pages, Command-click each page.)
Under Page Options, accept the existing name, or type a new file name in the Name text box.

Choose an option from the Mode menu (RGB to keep the photos in color, or Grayscale to automatically make
•
them black and white). If the file has an embedded ICC profile, you can choose the profile from the menu.

To open an EPS file
Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) can represent both vector and bitmap data and is supported by virtually all graphics,
®
illustration, and page-layout programs. Adobe applications that produce PostScript artwork include Adobe
Illustrator . When you open an EPS file containing vector art, it is rasterized—the mathematically defined lines and
®
curves of the vector artwork are converted into the pixels or bits of a bitmap image.
Choose File > Open.
1
Select the file you want to open, and click Open.
2
Indicate the desired dimensions, resolution, and mode. To maintain the same height-to-width ratio, select
3
Constrain Proportions.
Select Anti-aliased to minimize jagged appearance of edge as the file is opened.
4
Anti-aliasing lets you produce smooth-edged objects by partially filling the edge pixels, so that the edges of the objects
blend into the background.
Click OK.
5
You can also bring PostScript artwork into Photoshop Elements using the Place command and the Paste command.
To place a PDF, Adobe Illustrator, or EPS file in a new layer
You can place PDF, Adobe Illustrator, or EPS files into a new layer in an image. Because the placed artwork is
rasterized (bitmapped), you cannot edit text or vector data in placed artwork. The artwork is rasterized at the
resolution of the file into which it is placed.
In the Editor, open the image into which you want to place the artwork.
1
Choose File > Place, select the file you want to place, and click Place.
2
If you are placing a PDF file that contains multiple pages, select the page you want to place from the provided
3
dialog box, and click OK.
