Is it possible to save as EPS file?

I am making a logo using a couple of different fonts - no graphics. Is it possible to save as EPS file? Or, if not - is there a way to export it to another program that will save it as EPS file?

OP - here is a thought.
First, a Photoshop PDF with transparency is acceptable for InDesign. But many people want a flattened format to place in older programs such as Quark 6, or Pagewrecker.
They often use EPS. Photoshop will outline all fonts in the EPS output. Also with EPS you do not have a dual file format, so you must save a copy. These are two fundamental differences between Photoshop EPS and Photoshop PDF.
Here is another option if you need flattened output, but you still want the PSD info wrapped in a single file.
Save as Photoshop PDF, layers checked.
Select "PDF/X-1a" preset. By the standard, choose "None", When you do this "Photoshop Editing Capabilities" should default to enabled (if not, enable it)
When you save in this fashion, you are saving a flattened PDF output with vector data for other applications, but you also retain the native Photoshop file. This file can be opened for editing in Photoshop and can also be opened for evaluation in Adobe Acrobat.
Please, please be wary of Photoshop fonts. The fonts are embedded subset in the PDF, but sometimes you encounter glyph width errors when preflighting the PDF in Acrobat.
Photoshop has vector capabilities, but these capabilities are half - baked. Each and every font glyph becomes a clipping mask for pixel data. Not an ideal construct. For some RIPS, Photoshop fonts can blow up like dynamite.
I'm not trying to discourage utilizing Photoshop vector. But if possible, set your type in InDesign or Illustrator, it's safer in the long run.

Save for Web default folder in PSE 11

On my Windows 7 system, in PSE 8 when I select Save for Web, it defaults to saving the image in a folder I chose that is separate from the one I used in Open.
(Save and Save As default to the folder I opened the image from, and PSE 11 works the same way even though "Save As to Original Folder" is not checked in Edit | Preferences).
But "Save for Web" also always defaults to the folder the image was opened from, even though I have started it in Admiinistrator mode and changed the destination.
That worked to change the default file type from GIF to JPEG, but had no effect on the save-for-web default destination.
Is there a way to set/change the save-for-web default folder in PSE 11?

That makes sense, but it doesn't work for me in PSE11 (though PSE 8 is OK). I get the same result as yesterday, even after rebooting, which I hoped might clear any cached settings. With or without checking Save As to Original Folder, what happens is this:
- Save to Web defaults to saving the image file in the source folder;
- if I change the destination to my Web-images folder, that lasts until I close PSE 11, and not beyond;
- when I start it up again, Save For Web defaults to the source folder (with or without Save As to Original Folder, and regardless of Run As Administrator.
Looking at the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11
I see that no files show a change in the last several days, so the setting must be elsewhere, in the registry or in C:\Users\... somewhere. Hmmm..

Should I open sent PDF's through PS (flatten then save as .eps) & then save as a PDF thru distiller

Hi, I'm coming from a print background with newspapers where it was necessary to do the above with sent PDF's for print so that the fonts wouldn't bomb at print. I'm now working with a high gloss magazine and am wondering if it is necessary to do the same now. I have been doing it as routine with sent PDF's for print, once I ge the email I open in PS, make sure they are CMYK then flatten the image and save as .eps to open in Distiller and save as a PDF again. Again this was to make sure no fonts would bomb at print as per I was tought. (Used Quark when working with newspaper and thankfully am using InDesign for magazine). Is there any negative to doing this still? Even if the sent PDF's are fine (all True type font)? Could doing this, flatten and resave cause the iamges or fonts on the PDF's to lose quality at print? I'm pretty sure it wouldn't but I could be wrong with this higher quality print.
Appreciate any advice here, as I'm slightly worried it may cause some loss of quality at print (fuzzy border around text - light but there). Thanks.
Programs used are PS CS5, InDesign 5, Adobe Distiller 9. Final proofs are PDF's from InDesign to printer.

The “workflow” you cite is absolutely not recommended for any purpose whatsoever. The only thing that can be said for it is that it produces consistently low quality results with extra steps and overhead. Forget about transparency and color management! The newspapers in question must have been either (1) working with antiquated, buggy RIP software from the previous millennia or (2) had personnel with mindsets and education from the previous millennia!
Adobe strongly recommends use of direct PDF export from InDesign using the PDF/X-4 preset – never create PDF by distillation of PostScript!
Although we strongly encourage use of OpenType fonts for their typographical features and cross-platform compatibility, in terms of output quality and reliability, use of Type 1 versus TrueType versus OpenType is irrelevant.

Why can't I save camera raw defaults?

I am currently unable to reset my camera raw defaults in CS5 (Camera raw 6.5). When I click on "Save Camera Raw Defaults", the changes do not show up when I open up a new image using Adobe Bridge. I seem to be stuck with the changes I made some time ago. What could be happening?

Camera Raw uses the same settings you used last time to open a file. That's just the way it works. The defaults you set will be used on any image you haven't opened before.
In order to revert an image that's been opened before to the new defaults, you need to do one of the following:
1. Choose Camera Raw Defaults from the menu:
2. Depending on how you have configured Camera Raw to remember your past settings, either delete the sidecar XMP files or go into Edit - Preferences - Camera Raw... and purge your Camera Raw cache if you'd like to throw away all previous settings and have future opens use your new defaults.

Save as EPS in CS3

I work for a government agency that currently creates their graphics in Illustrator, exports them as EPS, and then places the graphics into MS Word templates for production. Sometimes, however, we have complicated graphics that use layerd transparencies. When these are saved as EPS files and converted to PDFs, white boxes and lines appear around the transparent objects. I believe it might be because the Transparency is flattened when you save as EPS, and this causes the lines to appaer (Saving out of AI directly to a PDF does not generate the white lines).
My question: Is there any way to save from Illustrator to EPS WITHOUT flattening the transparency? Because of the current workflow of the agency, the graphics need to be in EPS format before being placed into the Word reports. We are upgrading to CS4 in the near future....might there be a way to do this in the new version? Any input is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Meredith

the best solution its to save for web and devices and choose "png-24" . I use EPS only to interchange logotypes or simple draws with other designers

Version 8 Standard - save as EPS

I use Acrobat to save PDF's as EPS files to use as form overlays for some of our software applications. With version 7 standard, the EPS files were usually about 108 KB. With version 8 standard they are suddenly 521 KB. Anyone have any idea why the huge difference and if I can do anything about it (other than going back to version 7).
Thanks.

Are you sure you have not added graphics or such. It may be that the graphics resolution you have set in AA8 is higher than AA7. You might try reduce file size or PDF optimize (not sure either is in STD) and then a save as for the EPS file. That way you may be able to reduce the resolution. Another workaround that may have to be used with STD would be to print to a new PDF with a lower resolution selection in the settings file. Then see if that one will save to EPS ok.

Save as eps in binary language

I need to save as eps from Illustrator in Binary, noy in ASCII.
Can you help me, please?
Thanks

A proper EPS printer or application is required to handle both types without problems, so it shouldn't matter how it's encoded. Anyway, your best bet is to use a generic PostScript printer driver. It seems that newer versions of Adobe programs only support their own specific flavor and have ceased support for the legacy EPS format.

Save For Web Default Settings

I need to compress about 1,000 jpg images and I'm using the "save for web" feature in Photoshop 7 but I'm running into problems because my file names are very long and its cutting them off. I found the workaround by editing the output settings and unchecking the "Mac OS" box under "Filename Compatibility". However, the problem is that the default settings do not stay like this once I hit OK and I end up having to uncheck the Mac OS box for each and every file. Is there a way to permanently change the default settings so I can do batch processing for all my images? Thanks!

Look in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Presets\Optimized Output Settings
for the Default Settings.iros.
If it's gone look in:
C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Presets\Optimized Output Settings
(i think a reinstall is required to get back that preset if it's gone and you want the default)
As far as i can tell you would have to save a new Default Settings.iros to make ps 7 use the custom file compatibilty settings all the time.
You could save a new setting named Default Settings.iros to your desktop and then copy it to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Presets\Optimized Output Settings

Can't save as 'eps' in Indesign cs6 trial.

I am trying to design a logo and I am using a trial version of Indesign cs6. However, it will not let me "save as" an eps file. It only allows 'indesign cc template", "indesign cc document" and "Indesign CS4 or later". How can I save my logo as an 'eps' on a transparent background so I can use it in the creation of my business card?

All the google help pages say that you can save an eps file on a transparent background
For example; http://smallbusiness.chron.com/create-eps-file-transparent-background-52652.html
But I don't have the option in my Indesign "save as" > "format" drop down menu. It is so frustrating.
I have been able to do it before, in Indesign cs6 on a PC.
When you save a logo as an 'eps' file you onle see the actual logo making it very easy and functional to work with when using the logo to create a design. When you save it as anythig else the logo appears on a white page. Like a letterhead. on a document.

I cannot download and save an eps file in Adobe Photoshop Elements 12

I am unable to open and save an eps file in Adobe Photoshop Elements 12

No, EPS is one of the formats that adobe removed support for, starting with PSE 11.

Save As EPS dialog problem

Transparency problem in Save As EPS dialog - disabled from yesterday without reason. Working fine 2 years.
Please help. Tnx

Do you mean the transparent radio button is not available. The options under transparency will only be available if your document contains some blending mode or overprint.

Save as EPS and maintain layers?

Hi,
Is it possible to save a .psd file as a .eps and maintain the layers? When I convert the file to EPS, the layers are merged. I don't see an option in the "Save As" process that would prevent this from happning. Thanks!

OP - here is a thought.
First, a Photoshop PDF with transparency is acceptable for InDesign. But many people want a flattened format to place in older programs such as Quark 6, or Pagewrecker.
They often use EPS. Photoshop will outline all fonts in the EPS output. Also with EPS you do not have a dual file format, so you must save a copy. These are two fundamental differences between Photoshop EPS and Photoshop PDF.
