OT: help converting image from Illustrator .eps file to

I have 2 files that were sent to me as (supposedly) full
vector-based format
from Illustrator. When I view these in FW, I see only a
bitmap. I know it
is possible to convert these to a FW png where each element
of the graphic
is a separate object but I don't have the software to do so.
Is there anyone out there who would be willing and able to
convert these for
me?
Kathie

You can email me the files if you like, my address is joseph

  • Convert image from RGB to CMYK and back to RGB

    Hey.
    I wonder if anyone has experience with converting image from RGB to CMYK and back to RGB?
    I had a TIF in RGB then converted to CMYK but I figured that it might be better to keep in RGB, so I converted back. I read that it supposed to cause some loss in the data, but I can't see anything on the image, it is still very huge and the 2 RGB files has the same size as well. Is there a way to compare the resolution of 2 images somehow, or how can I see what I lost through the 2 conversions?
    Thanks for help

    I had a TIF in RGB then converted to CMYK but I figured that it might be better to keep in RGB, so I converted back.
    The original RGB data is not being restored by converting from the CMYK version, so the term "keep" seems inappropriate.
    What are the actual Color Spaces (ICC profiles) involved?
    Is there a way to compare the resolution of 2 images somehow, or how can I see what I lost through the 2 conversions?
    How did resolution come into this?
    To determine how large a portion of the image has been changed you could
    • make a flattened copy of the original image
    • place a flattened copy of the RGB->CMYK->RGB image on top of that and set it to Blend Mode Difference
    • add an Adjustment Layer (Curves for example) to brighten the image

  • OSX 10.6 does not differentiate between PS or illustrator .eps files

    Have other people encountered this problem?
    I have found that snow leopard does not differentiate between photoshop and illustrator .eps files in order to double click and open them.
    Does anyone know how to correct this?

    Hello Chris,
    Thanks so much for clarifying about OSX 10.6 opening .eps files in illustrator or photoshop.
    I was wondering if you knew out how
    to create a droplet that opens multiple PDFs and saves as .gifs.
    When I
    try to do it, all of the .gifs end up having the same name as the file
    that I created the script with, and a "-1" at the end.
    Actually
    there are two droplets that I want to create (to be able to
    drop multiple pdf files):
    Portrait/Square
    script:
    Final thumbnail file to be 51 pixels wide by (x?) pixels
    tall
    Final thumbnail file should be 72 dpi,
    Final
    thumbnail file should be flattened(no transparency in white areas),
    Final thumbnail file should have a 1 pixel wide Grey border to all
    sides
    Final thumbnail file should be saved as a GIF file, RGB
    Landscape script:
    Final thumbnail file to be 65 pixels wide by (x?)
    pixels tall
    Final thumbnail file should be 72 dpi,
    Final
    thumbnail file should be flattened(no transparency in  white areas),
    Final thumbnail file should have a 1 pixel wide Grey border to all
    sides
    Final thumbnail file should be saved as a GIF file, RGB
      Thanks,

    Given EPS files are "really" Illustrator files (Photoshop not being a
    vector application), you probably want to make Illustrator the default.
    No.
    EPS files can be produced and read by many applications.
    And most EPS files cannot be read by Illustrator.
    Frequently EPS files in particular need to be edited in the application which created them (Freehand vs. AI vs. Quark gradients anyone?).

  • Figuring out how to extract images from a PDF file

    Hi,
    I'm trying to write a small app that extracts all images from a PDF file. I already wrote a nice parser and it works good but the only problem is that I can't quite figure out from the reference how to decode all images in a PDF file to normal files such as tiffs, jpegs, bmps etc. For now I'm focusing on XObject images and not dealing with inline images.
    From what I understand so far just by trying and looking at open sources I figured that if I see a XObject Image with a DCTDecode filter, taking the stream data without doing anything to it and saving it as a jpeg file works. But doing the same to FlateDecoded streams or CCITTFax didn't work.
    What is the right way to properly extract the images?

    In general you have to
    * decode the stream
    * extract the pixel data
    * use ColorSpace, BitsPerComponent, Decode and Width to unpack pixel
    values
    * reconstruct an image file format according to its specification
    There are no other shortcuts. The DCTDecode shortcut (which doesn't
    work for CMYK JPEG files) is just a piece of fantastic good luck.

  • When I export an indesign document the graphics are missing from the eps file.

    When I export an indesign document the graphics are missing from the eps file.

    The why it isn't working can be a number of reasons. While I never have exported an EPS out of ID before, I just tried it and it worked fine.
    What "graphics" are missing? I used bitmaps, native drawn ID vector, lines and a placed EPS file. Came into AI as an opened EPS fine.
    Links up to date? For items not hitting the EPS, are they on a layer set to non-printing?
    In the export dialog,General tab, PostScript Level 3? Data format set to ASCII? On the Advanced tab, Send Data set to All? OPI off?

  • My computer is converting downloads from a ppt file into a pps?

    How do I stop my computer from converting downloads from a ppt file into a pps? When I download PowerPoint presentations from online for class my computer is converting the ppt files into a pps, even though I have PowerPoint. It used to download ppt files fine until recently.

    Yep, this happens. I have not found a way to keep the files from downloading as a ,pps. So I use a work around. Find where you have the downloaded file. It should look something like "slides.ppt.pps." Click on the file name to edit and erase the .pps. You'll see a dialog box that asks you if you really want to eliminate the .pps. Say yes and it will be removed from the name and you can then load into PowerPoint. Hope it works for you.

  • Mail keeps crashing when attaching illustrator .eps files

    Whenever I receive or try to attach an Illustrator .eps file, mail crashes. The .eps file is fine, and can be read by CS and CS2 software.
    Whenever Mail tries to read the attachment, it seems it can't cope and quits.
    Bit of a bummer when I'm a designers and that's what I need to send to clients.
    The only way I get around it is by zipping or stuffing it as a stuffit file.
    How can I reload Mail or cure the problem?
    All ideas welcome

    Look at the console logs for any errors that occur at the same time Mail crashes. What do the errors say?

  • Problems converting from CS4 - eps files show TIFF error

    Having downloaded the latest version of Indesign CS6, I have tried to open several douments of a music tutor featuring many EPS music graphics along with many Tiff images. However, I keep getting following error: "Error encountered while reading TIFF image. Image may be damaged or incompatible. Resave the image with different settings and try again."
    I have resaved all the EPS and Tiff images as CS6 files and relinked them into the document but to no avail - the problem remains. I suspect that the  image files are not actually damaged but that there is some other problem. I have 100s of images and am not sure what next to do. I noticed another user ( Kaleidoscopes Violin) who had a similar problem and it was suggested that "if your CS2 file is still intact, try exporting it to interchange format (.inx), then open the .inx file in CS5 (or CS5.5 which is the current release, and not the same as CS5)." - but this was for CS2 to CS5, and CS6 does not allow .inx file export. I need to work with the document in future so exporting it as a PDF file is of no use to me. Is this a known bug in CS6? I would be grateful for any advice. Thank you.

    Wow ... very, very helpful responses.  I wish I'd posted this earlier!! 
    I had no idea that EPS was an older file format, or that PDF was considered a "legitimate" graphics format.  Sibelius 6 only exports to EPS, TIFF (yuck!!), and PNG.  However, I did discover that it "prints" to Adobe PDF.  Odd that the option is located in an unexpected file menu, but very glad it's there!!  The PDF format loads fine into InDesign and also prints beautifully, unlike the PNG option. Yay!! 
    As far as embedding fonts, I had been making sure this option was checked (when exporting from Sibelius), so it seems unlikely that was the problem. So in theory that would mean it's not a problem of the InDesign font cache, or of a font discrepancey.  In practice ... who knows.  What's particularly puzzling is that some EPS files are fine, while others were not; and also that CS2 had no problems with any of them.
    Regardless, the font information is really, really good to know ... I'll save this thread for future use!
    Thanks so much to all for your generous help!!!

  • Best file for importing images from Illustrator and Photoshop for small file sizes

    Hello Adode consults!
    I'm in the process of preparing an inDesign file for a school project -- I've already had a few harrowing experiences sending large files to the printer that are too large to process (and a very grumpy computer, etc). The end result will be a poster around 36 inches by 4 or 5 feet.
    I'm wondering if there are any best practices for making sure that the files imported into InDesign are a manageable size to begin with. Should I, for instance, be saving each file as a jpeg before placing in Indesign?
    Thanks!
    -Katherine

    No, you should not save every file as JPG before placing it in INDesign. JPG is only usefull for raster images (like photos) without any transparency in high quality.
    When you place images use:
    For raster images from Photoshop psd (rgb with color profile)
    For raster images from Photoshop with form layers, texts or any vector element use PDF (or PDP) with layers.
    For vector graphics from Illustrator use AI files or PDF.
    For layouts from other InDesign projects use either the INDD itsself or export a PDF/X4.
    But to the printer deliver a PDF according to their standards. E.g. when they need CMYK files export as PDF/X1a with the required output color space and the resolution they want. Produce the pdf via Export (Print).
    Don't deliver open INDD. File size should for printing projects not be an issue.

  • Issues exporting gradients from Illustrator CS5 files to EPS 8

    Hello everyone, I'm having problems exporting illustrator files to EPS, mainly with gradients that aren't rendering properly. These fills are appearing as small sliced objects rather than complete shapes. Any advice?
    Thanks!

    Illustrator 8 is over a decade old. I expect that Adobe has significantly changed the way gradients are saved in Illustrator files since version 8. So, in order to preserve the appearance of the gradient Illustrator just expands it, rather than continuing to support a legacy format that’s so old. This is unfortunate but understandable.
    Perhaps there are other options. Why are you saving as an Illustrator 8 EPS file? Surely you are not sending the file to someone who has no more recent version than 8? If the file is not meant for use exclusively with Adobe Illustrator 8 then it will be converted to some other format when the person you are sending it to opens it. When that happens, expect the gradient to be converted anyway.
    My point is I doubt this Illustrator 8 EPS file will need to be edited, so it doesn’t matter that the gradient is expanded.

  • Illustrator breaks text at a point when importing from an EPS file?

    I am importing an EPS file from a statistical software. All text strings that belong together are in brackets ( ), so the EPS file is OK. When AI creates the chart it happens that the last glyph is a new and independent text string (text at a point).
    Is it possible to force AI to respect the structure of the EPS file.
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    No.
    You can only fix it afterwards.

  • Problems converting from CS2 - eps files show TIFF error

    I have multiple volumes of a violin method book in InDesign CS2 and was considering upgrading to InDesign CS5. While using the trial version (which I just downloaded last night), every single of my eps files (hundreds of images across multiple documents) -- which were handled correctly by CS2 -- came up with the following error: "Error encountered while reading TIFF image. Image may be damaged or incompatible. Resave the image with different settings and try again." 
    Inconveniently, these errors were not collated into a single pop-up box when the document opened; instead, they appear one box at a time, as you page through the document -- so you have to manually close this error pop-up box hundreds of times.
    Meanwhile, the problem is not with the image files themselves.  Simply manually re-linking to the exact same image file corrected the image preview in each instance, for my Books 2 & 3.  This would inevitably seem to suggest the image file was never actually damaged or incompatible. 
    However, in my Book 1, re-linking an image caused the program to crash each time I tried it.
    The images themselves are EPS, not TIFF, and are listed in the links palette as such.  I assume that it's simply the image preview which is a TIFF -- however, the pop-up box should be more illuminating for your users who don't do this for a living.
    Meanwhile, the status of each buggy link is listed in the Links palette as "Okay." The inability to see the image correctly (and having to close a pop-up box each time you land on that page) is not, in my book, "okay."
    I am planning to immediately un-install CS5 and return to CS2; I cannot possibly go through the laborious process of re-linking hundreds of links to image files that are perfectly fine.  However, I wanted to post this feedback for the benefit of other users, or in hopes that the bug will be fixed.  I love my InDesign and am very disappointed that CS5 is handling my documents so erratically.

    Hopefully you haven't already saved the new file over the old version. Under no circumstances do you want to do that as there is no way to go back without having CS4 and CS3 to work through.
    That said, if your CS2 file is still intact, try exporting it to interchange format (.inx), then open the .inx file in CS5 (or CS5.5 which is the current release, and not the same as CS5).

  • When I export an image from Illustrator, my placed images are distorted

    Hi,
    I've rendered an image in Maya, saved it as a .psd, and placed it into Illustrator. In Illustrator, I get very jagged curves and lines on my artboard and when I export to a bitmap (see attached...the first image is before Illustrator, the second is after export from Illustrator). I have saved my Photoshop file to the EXACT size it needs to be, so there's no scaling.
    Please help!
    Thank you!

  • [noob needs help] Loading image from a URL

    Hey everyone. I'm new here. And I'm new at J2ME as well.
    I have a simple school project and I have doubts about it. I've searched everywhere on the net yet I could not find the solution. Anyways, I do understand the concept of loading images by putting the files in the "res" folder and use:
    try
    img = Image.createImage("/burgerimgsmall.jpg");
    catch (Exception e)
    e.printStackTrace();
    But my project requires me to load an image from a URL. How do I go about doing that? If it helps, here's the URL:
    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/punkgila/burgerimgsmall.jpg
    Thanks guys!

    Don't worry, downloading image from http is also simple. Look into Photoalbum demo in wtk2.5
