Convert file type in preview.

Hello,
I have a high resolution .eps file that opens in preview. It looks great when I open it up, and when I zoom in the quality is very clear. I want to convert this to a .jpeg or .tiff image - however I want the quality to remain the same. I try to "save-as" a TIFF or JPEG image and choose the highest level of conversion. However, it still does not come out the same quality as the original. Does anyone know how I can convert this image without loosing the quality??
Thanks so much!
Jennifer

Best idea would be to repost this question in the iPhoto forum to see if the folks there have advice:

Choose the version of iPhoto that you have and post a new question. Good luck!

  • Where is "save as" or how to change file type in Preview in Lion?

    Where is "save as" or how to change file type in Preview in Lion? I used to use Preview to change quickly change a lot of PNGs to either JPEGs or PDFs but with the introduction of versions auto save etc there no "save as" in the File menu. Any suggestions how to get this functionality back or how to get around it within OS X (no Photoshop etc)?

    Just wasted 15 minutes looking for that.  What's wrong with Save As?

  • Converting file types

    Is there any way that I can convert some songs with the iTunes file type (which I think is MPEG-4) to a WMA file type.
    Many thanks,

    Yes, but why a WAV?
    That'll make the file size like 10 time bigger.

  • Converting Files into iTunes

    I recently installed iTunes and the program transfered over my music from My music folder into iTunes it also started converting file types over. I had to stop the process of converting the file types and iTunes didn't completely convert all my files. How do I tell it to finish?
    Thanks

    Was able to copy some of my songs (some of my own compositons from midi device even) but after update ipod, couldn't transfer more songs next time I tried.

  • DNG file types don't show thumbnails or previews

    I am having trouble with Adobe Bridge CS5 for Mac OSX.  Up until last week it was working fine.  I haven't made any changes to my computer or my camera or anything like that.  But now .DNG files won't show their thumbnail or preview.  I only see the icon for the file type in the thumbnail list, and then when I click on the thumbnail, I just see a bigger version of the file type icon in the preview window.  However, JPEGs show up just fine.
    I've searched through this forum and tried:
    - Resetting the Workspace
    - Resetting Bridge to default (Opening it with the Option key pressed)
    - Purging the cache
    - Checking that Camera Raw is properly installed (I have 6.7)
    - Updating DNG Converter to 8.3
    But no luck yet.  Is this a new issue or something?

    What about your old DNG photos which used to display properly? Can you still see those okay?
    Have you set the Compatibility preference in DNG Converter to Camera Raw 6.6 and later?
    Can you confirm that you have only one copy of Camera Raw 6.7 installed, and no other versions in alternative File Formats folders?
    You could also try ACR 6.7.1:

  • Should I convert my MTS (AVCHD) file to another file type before editing with elements 10

    I know premiere elements 10 has project settings for working with AVCHD footage but after doing a bit of reading about how AVCHD (MTS) files are a lot harder for your computer to work with I'm thinking it might be better to convert my raw video files to another video file type before editing with premiere elements 10.
    I have a reasonably good computer, but it's only a laptop with 361gb free memory, radeon graphics card, core i5 processor and 8GB ram.
    If I should convert these files first what file type should I convert them to without loosing too much video quality and where can I find a program to convert them.
    Many thanks
    Sally

    I have a reasonably good computer, but it's only a laptop with 361gb free memory, radeon graphics card, core i5 processor and 8GB ram.
    My granddaughters and I have been using one of those to edit videos taken in (two) Sony and (one) Panasonic cameras.  The computer is a mid grade Toshiba laptop that is about three years old.  The cameras were purchased after the computer.  Our computer does not have a graphics card, but the other specs are about the same. 
    I know premiere elements 10 has project settings for working with AVCHD footage but after doing a bit of reading about how AVCHD (MTS) files are a lot harder for your computer to work with I'm thinking it might be better to convert my raw video files to another video file type before editing with premiere elements 10.
    I didn't read that until after we had made videos.  The issue is the project preset that is set when you open a new project. If you guess wrong, PrE10 tells you so when you slide the first clip to the timeline. 
    There is confusion about AVCHD because there is a 1.0 and a 2.0.  The "high" setting for many cameras the last couple of years was 1080p60.  That did not become part of AVCHD until last July.  Now it is and is called 2.0.  PrE10 specs include AVCHD 1.0, so the 1080p60 is "officially" unsupported.   I didn't know that, so I tried a few presets when my files were 1080p60.  A preset of 720p60 worked best. 
    The "work harder" part primarily has to do with the preview window during editing.  If it is not going smoothly there will probably be a red line above the clip.  Pressing "Enter", getting a cup of coffee and patience will make the red line go away and the preview will be smoother.  The relationship between project presets and final output is a mystery.  My experience is that the presets have only to do with real time preview and little to do with output.  Output requires an entire re-encoding for the chosen viewing platform.  PrE10 seems to ignore the project presets, uses all the markers set in editing and builds the final products from scratch. 
    If I should convert these files first what file type should I convert them to without loosing too much video quality and where can I find a program to convert them.
    Steve and Bill invest a lot of time here helping people like you and me.  But, my experience is that they are wrong.  I see no need to convert the files.  Conversion always has the risk of loosing a little picture quality.  PrE10 seems to handle AVCHD fine.  Let it do the final render using the actual source clips.
    Sally, consider upgrading to version 11 where AVCHD 2.0 and 1080p60 is included.  I have.  Processing is a little smother.
    Bill
    PS:  Please, with all due respect to Bill and Steve who work hard here, I disagree based only on experience with 3 cameras and one computer.  User experience varies!

  • Preview has taken over RAW file type binding from Photoshop

    Preview v 3.0.4 has taken over as the default program with which to open RAW files. Double-clicking a RAW file in OS 10.3.9 or earlier (?) used to automatically open RAW files into the latest Photoshop version installed (be it 7, CS, CS2).
    After purchasing a new Dual 2.7 G5 with Tiger 10.4 or 10.4.4, ALLL RAW ICNS have changed to a PREVIEW.app's icon for RAW images, and RAW files now default to Preview when double-clicked, instead of the Photographer's choice of Photoshop, as it has been for years.
    These and other file type bindings (PDF) have been captured by Preview in the new OS.
    What is going on? What to do? How do I regain the original file binding of RAW files to an intelligent and professional program (PHTOSHOP CSx), instead of this NEWBIE nearly unusable PREVIEW application?
    Simply remove all PREVIEW resources? Then it's usefulness for browsing large numbers of images will be lost.
    I simply want PREVIEW to leave my professional digital world alone and let me continue working efficiently.
    Any help? Ideas?
    Thanks a bunch,
    jes360

    Simply select one of your crw files, do GetInfo (command-i) on the file and in the Open With section choose Photoshop. Click the Apply to All button. From now on all crw files will open in Photoshop. I suspect the default changed because Preview can now open many many raw files, and not everyone has Photoshop.

  • How to convert an ascii file into dBase .dbf file type

    Does any one out there know how to convert an ascii file(which is generated from PL/SQL script) into a .dbf (dBaseIII) file type? Thanks in advance.

    I haven't worked with dBase for about 20 years, but I seem to recall it having an IMPORT command for that purpose. But maybe I'm wrong...

  • Document Preview File Types

    Hi,
    I am trying to find a list of all the file types that the document preview in a SharePoint Online environment supports. By this I mean the preview must show the contents of the document, and not just the metadata.
    Does anyone know of a list I can reference?
    Thanks

    Basically its all the standard office document types and PDF.  Its the same list as the document types supported by Office Web Apps since that is what does the preview.  Here's a support article that explains what Office Web apps supports.

    PDF files are handled the same as .DOCX

  • Different File Types to Import - To Conver or not to convert?

    I have a project that I am dealing with which is requiring several different file types. Mainly .avi exported from VEGAS and footage ripped from a DVD.
    I have heard that it is best to use MPEG Streamclip to convert everything to a DVPro format (I am outputting in SD for broadcast) but wouldn't that just cause more compression?
    What is the best way to handle multiple file formats and the best output settings for broadcast when dealing with multiple formats? Thanks!

    The Avi's might work OK as they are, but the DVD footage has to go through MPEG streamclip. You might have to do this with the Avi's too, but not always... depends on the codec that was used to capture them in Vegas.
    Might try putting the AVI's in Compressor for the conversion if need be, as it might look a bit better in the end. But you've no choice with the files ripped from the DVD.

  • List of file types to convert to PDF?

    Can a document that was scanned into Picassa software be converted into a PDF file using Adobe CreatePDF?

    First which version of MS Office are you using?
    In MS Office does the PDF Maker work?
    Have you enabled PDF Maker in MS Office?
    MS Office does not automatically allow PDF Maker macros to work by default. One has to enabale the PDF Maker macros.
    The PDF Maker macros may not recognize the new MS Office file types, so you will have to save your files to the Office 2003/XP types.
