an application supporting only Photoshop 2.0 files. Saving in Photoshop 2.0 format

BMP format supports RGB, Indexed Color, Grayscale, and Bitmap color modes. You can
specify either Windows or OS/2

BMP images are normally written bottom to top; however, you can select the Flip Row
Order option to write them from top to bottom. You can also select an alternate encoding
method by clicking Advanced Modes. (Flip Row Order and Advanced Modes are most
relevant to game programmers and others using DirectX.)
Photoshop EPS
Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) language file format can contain both vector and bitmap
graphics and is supported by virtually all graphic, illustration, and page-layout programs.
EPS format is used to transfer PostScript-language artwork between applications. When
you open an EPS file containing vector graphics, Photoshop rasterizes the image,
converting the vector graphics to pixels.
EPS format supports Lab, CMYK, RGB, Indexed Color, Duotone, Grayscale, and Bitmap color
modes, and does not support alpha channels. EPS does support clipping paths. Desktop

separations of CMYK images. You use DCS 2.0 format to export images containing spot
channels.To print EPS files, you must use a PostScript printer.

Photoshop. The current version of Photoshop includes rasterization features for opening
files that include vector data.
