Can Elements 12 open EPS files?

It's listed on the website as a format that it can import, but I can't open them. I get a message that it is a wrong document.
If Elements can't open them, what is a workaround? Is there a way to convert them to TIFF?

Support for EPS was dropped in PSE11 but see here for workarounds - http://blogs.adobe.com/pselements/open-eps-files-in-photoshop-elements-11/.

Suddenly can't open .eps files in FW8

Hi all-
I suddenly can't open .eps files in FW8. Starts to open and then says "Internal error occurred" Text tool is also acting up. I think it may be related to one of the extensions I downloaded from the Adobe Exchange. Or, maybe it was something I did. Probably the latter. Either way, it seems like my FW8 has gotten corrupted. Ran spyware, adware, defrag, and virus scans. Even talked nice to my computer, but nothing has worked. I looked for patches or downloads on Adobe's site but there are none for FW8.
Anyway, I'm guessing my only option is to reinstall, unless someone out there has a better idea. If I do reinstall, does it erase everything? Meaning, will I lose all extensions and all the settings?
Thanks for your help!

Using Win XP Media center edition v 5.1 Service Pack 3. Been too afraid to upgrade to Vista. Probably about time to upgrade my FW.
I searched my entire machine for that file, both by file name and by all .txt files and could not find a "Preferences" file anywhere. Here's what came up under the FW directory path:
Thanks for your help, Heathrowe!

Can't open EPS files in Illustrator CS3 since installing CS6

I'm on Windows 7, and need to be able to open .eps files with Illustrator CS3. Since installing CS6 yesterday I'm no longer able to associate EPS files with Illustrator CS3. When I right click an eps and go to "open with", only Illustrator CS6 is listed. When I "choose default program", only Illustrator CS6 is listed. If I "browse" and manually select the Illustrator CS3 executable, it still defaults to CS6. Using the same process with .ai files works fine, there is no issue. However these .eps files are not behaving like .ai files. If anyone could suggest a solution to my problem I would be very grateful.
EDIT:
Also, attempting to set the default program through the "set associations" control panel doesn't work, after selecting the Illustator CS3 executable it still shows up as CS6.

Some research solved my issue. Need to create a registry entry for Illustrator CS3 (v13) in the eps file extension section of the windows 7 registry.
1. Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.eps\OpenWit hProgids
2. Create a new "binary value" key called "Adobe.Illustrator.13" (leave the value blank).
That's it. CS3 is now a valid choice for eps files. Hope this helps anyone who has the same issue.

Illustrator can't open eps files

I've been have an issue with CS3 and now CS5. When trying to open an eps file I get an error "Can't open illustration. Could not complete the requested operation". I can see a thumbnail, but nothing in the file shows up. Any ideas?

Tranparency gets flattened in the making of the .eps, and there is a choice as to whether you want to embed links.
If you somehitng simple with no transprency, you would be able to make yourself a nice editable .ai file out of this.
Once you have transparency, the those elements get merged and embedded, and often in quite a complex splicing.
You can place the .eps in Illustrator and then embed the .eps to convert the placed into some vector shapes you may need to grab.

Can't open eps file

I received a .eps file (actually two of them) and cannot open it. I tried two different macs (Tiger & Leopard). Tried Illustrator CS 2, 3, 4, & 5. Tried Distiller and preview. Tried to import to InDesign, Illustrator & Quark. I keep getting "The file is in an unknown format and cannot be opened.
Emailed it to a friend who opened it immediately (Leopard & CS5), saved and returned a working file. What's up? Any thoughts? I can't keep emailing people to open my files for me.
Thanks

Have whoever sent them to you zip the files in the future befroe sending them.

Illustrator CS3 can't open eps files

I can't seem open any eps files. It won't open in Photoshop either. Both of them I get this message: "Parser module cannot parse the file."
Am I missing a vital component to install in CS3?

Some research solved my issue. Need to create a registry entry for Illustrator CS3 (v13) in the eps file extension section of the windows 7 registry.

What are my options for opening EPS files in Elements 13? What is the best way to convert these to another type of vector file?

I "upgraded" from Photoshop Elements... uh... mad old... to Elements 13 when my work computer got "upgraded" to Win8. Now I can't open EPS files which is how I receive collateral from our ad agency. What other vector files will work, and how can I convert EPS to these? Please be gentle if this is a stupid question - I know enough to be dangerous, but I'm not an expert at design by any means. I'm just frustrated because this isn't quite the "dead" file type that Adobe thinks it is. What was the point of upgrading if I'm pretty much left in the lurch?
Thanks to any and all who can help! Much appreciated . -ASI

What's important to understand is that Elements is a 'pixel' editor, not a 'vector' editor. As such, it has very limited 'vector' capacity (fonts, shapes...) What you are missing from older versions is the ability to convert vector items to standard pixel image file. To be able to open and work on eps files, you'd need Adobe Illustrator, which seems overkill for your purpose.
So, your options are:
- to request your ad agency to supply pdf format images instead of eps ones. My guess is that eps is beeing largely superseded by pdf, but I am not sure...
- Use external tools to convert from eps to jpeg; a Google search would return free softwares like Irfanview or web based conversion.
- You might want to keep (or reinstall) older Elements versions just for that purpose.

Hello miss a,
please have a look there https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1334015?tstart=0 and see Corect answer: "Support for EPS files was dropped with PSE 11". and have a look at consecutive number 8 (for PSE 12!): https://workspaces.acrobat.com/app.html#d=d7X1rXdE11yH0YHzrj7wog.
If it's absolutely necessary to open these files you could use a trial version of PSE 12 for a while. But have a look at the restrictions at the end of the thread.

How can i view eps files in photoshop elements 11?

Hi,

In which folder i should put eps parser.8by in elements 13, to open eps files??

I have to be able to open eps.files in photoshop elements. it worked fine in 9, it did'nt occur to me that in newer versions you get less in stead of more..i regret buying it now
So: in which folder i should put epsparser.8by in elements 13, to open eps files??

Unfortunately, that EPS Parser.8BY only works in the 32 bit version of photoshop elements 13.
If your windows system is 64 bit, then you would have the 64 bit version of photoshop elements 13 and the EPS Parser.8BY is an 32 bit plugin and won't work in the 64 bit version of pse 13.
(i don't believe you can install the 32 bit version of pse 13 on a 64 bit windows system)
So the solution would be to keep pse 9 and use it for things that pse 13 won't do.
What features from previous versions are not available in Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?

Just installed Photoshop Elements 13 - how to open .eps files?

I used to work with photoshop elements, never had a problem to open .eps files.
but with the latest version photoshop elements 13 unfortunately i cannot open .eps files anymore.
Do you have any idea how to solve this problem?
Or do I have to buy another photoshop software....
Thanks!

I was rudely told by adobe there is no way to open an eps file. When I tried to respond he
canceled our chat. But I read you can make it tiff? and do it that way? I tried to no avail. I paid 119 for this upgrade and now can't do what I need to. Any thoughts anyone to solve this problem? I have graphicstock.com and a lot of their files are either, jpg, png, eps , pdf files. I don't know why Adobe
took away this and image extractor. Elements 13 is not what I thought it would be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been watching youtube videos to no avail.

I just purchased Photoshop Elements 13 and now find it doesn't open .eps files.

What adobe product does open .eps files and can I "return" Elements 13?

How do i open eps files as i did in my old version of elements

Hi Ian, thanks for the suggestion. That means I will have to write a vi that executes after the application loads and it has a list of all the vi's with front panels that I want to minimise. Seems do-able as long as I can be sure the vi does its work after all the vi front panels have loaded. Maybe a time delay before getting into the nitty gritty work of shutting front panels, will do that. Cheers.
Hi Herbert,
Assuming that you already know which are the VIs that will be loaded with FP, by placing and setting that Front Panel Windowtate property in each of those VIs (as first portion of code to be executed; could be made into an sub-vi), those VIs shall minimize themselves at when loaded (and run).
Hope I am correct up to this point of time as for my existing projects, only one FP has to be minimized

I can not open raw files in elements 12 any help please?

I can not open raw files from my Nikon D610 in elements 12. (I have already downloaded raw converter 8.3 but to no avail) any help please would be appreciated.

Hi,
Can you confirm which Camera Raw PSE 12 is actually using by loading the editor and going to Help -> About Plug-in -> Camera Raw.
If you do Help -> Updates it may install the latest camera raw of 8.4 - not on XP or Vista systems.
Do you use any Nikon software to download the images? The older versions have been known to corrupt the files.
See the following for more info.
