Warning when saving picture as .eps

Can you let me know what this warning message means "Pixel aspect ration correction if for preview purposes only. Turn it off for maximum image quality" It appears when making an .eps.
Many thanks

Save to PDF or a pixel format? Flatten the gradient, so it gets embedded as pixel data in the EPS with a vector clipping mask? Depending on what kind of gradient you use that would look better, anyways. If the EPS cannot express your gradient as a native gradient, it will be converted a set of stacked fill objects and that may not look good at all due to the quantization and banding. It's an inherent limitation and using an old AI certainly doesn't make things easier. Also try to expand the text and separate each letter. That would change the structure of the resulting EPS file and it may be able to express your gradient fills proiperly on a per obejct basis then.

  • When saving .tif or .eps files, it usually erases the last 2, 3 or 4 letters, why? ("as copy" issue)

    hi again
    this is a question i wanted to ask the last couple of years:
    it doesnt depend on CS5 or CS4, i guess nearly all newer versions
    of photoshop erase some letters at the end of a filename, when saving as tif or eps, and the file was a photoshop .psd layer file before.
    i am working with many masks, so when i finish a psd layer file and want to save it as tiff (without layers and path) for sending out to client,
    i press "apple+alt+S" and the "save as" window checks "copy" as default, of course, i want to preserve the original filename without "..copy"
    so i uncheck "save as copy", and then there are some letters missing, i have to manually replace the letters by the original ones.
    thats very awkward and time consumptive, is there a better workaround, you could suggest?
    is this my fault, maybe wrong workflow? what could i change, in order to avoid photoshop erasing letters in filenames, when saving?
    what could i do, that "save as copy" wont appear anymore? i am always saving in another folder than the layer file folder,
    but i can only select the folder after photoshop has checked "save as copy" by itself very quick, as it thinks i want to save the tiff file
    into the .psd layer file folder...
    i am usually manually editing the filename in the finder later,
    as it has been very important for myself to stay with the original filename
    as clients use the images in indesign, so it can auto-update, if the filename is the same as before.
    thanks for any help!

    thanks for your answer!
    i am dealing with this problem within 1 or 2 years now, i guess.
    photoshop always shortens my original filename, when i press "save as"
    i am experiencing this problem on 3 macs, on different locations
    (in my homeoffice and at another office i work freelance) (very different macs and photoshop versions (from CS3 to CS5)
    like:
    original filename "vitra_woodenchair_hires_cmyk_original.psd" will be shortened to "vitra_woodenc copy.TIF"
    i have to edit the files after that manually in the finder, as i send it back to clients, and they need their original filenames.
    i also wonder why photoshop cs5 always wants to save a copy -
    i never needed a copy of a file in my life, so why "save as copy" please?
    i guess my problem is depending more or less only on the "save as copy" thing,
    as it looks like, that the letters "copy" are erasing the end of my filename.
    is there anything i can do, that photoshop wont suggest me a "save as copy" ever again?
    can i switch it off?
    your suggestion of scripts is nice, i doubt, i am able to install a script at different macs, i never ve been dealing with
    scripts before, it seems to be too complicate or it just sounds complicate to me, as i dont have specific
    file save destinations, i save at different places on different mac servers in the mentioned offices. also i save
    different kind of file types, sometimes psd, tiff, eps, jpg, png and all others...
    i try deleting .plist now and report back
    thanks meanwhile...

  • Can one embed the complete font (not a subset of it) when saving as an EPS in Illustrator (CS4)?

    We are running into some display font issues when our clients use Acrobat 7 or older versions of reader to view our PDF proofs.  On occasion, subsetted fonts conflict and reveal question marks instead of the desired type in the final PDF.
    We use a proprietary composition system to perform the majority of our file composition, but use Illustrator for tables and charts.  Our composition system requires imported elements to be saved in the EPS file format.  As far as I can tell, there is no way to have Illustrator embed the complete font rather than a subset of it when saving the file as an EPS.  Please correct me if I am wrong?
    All help is greatly appreciated.

    Russel,
    I appreciate your advice.
    To answer your befuddlement, the PDF supplied to our client is generated from a PostScript file created from our proprietary composition system.  Unfortunately, the casue of the subset conflict is occuring prior to the PDF distillation.  We do not create the PDF in Illustrator.  Our proprietary composition system can only import the EPS file format for linked bitmap and vector images.  The moment the EPS is saved is where the issue is occuring.  A redistill further downstream (when the EPS and composition files are already combined in the PostScript) does not appear to eliminate the conflict.
    If there was a way for us to embed the entire font and not just a subset of it in the EPS that we export out of Illustrator, then the likelihood of a subset conflict occuring in the PDF during distilling would be eliminated.  Fortunately, the question marks only show up when the PDF is displayed on screen in Acrobat.  The output from this same PDF looks fine when sent to a printer.  Considering the size of our print runs (often in the millions) and the importance of all type displaying properly (risk of large SEC fines), the explanation that the job will print correctly even though it displays improperly does not satisfy our clients.
    We can not convert the text to outlines since the fonts would appear slightly heavier in the tables than they would appear in the portion that is composed in our proprietary composition system where the same font is used. 
    Any other ideas?

  • Dates when saving picture

    Hello,
    I would like to get "today's date" when saving a picture.  At the present when I save the picture, it keeps its original date.
    No clue how to do that in windows 7 with Photoshop CS5 at 64.
    Thanks for info.

  • Problem when saving as an .eps

    Hey guys I created a vector and I wanna save it as an EPS file. My fonts were turned to outlines ofcourse.
    So here what I did.
    File>save as>eps and the option "embed fonts for..." was checked(don't know if matters)
    My problem is that when I open the EPS file and going Window>link all the letters appear to be linked(rastered) which I don't want this.
    I need my design to be just vector and nothing else.
    I would be greatful if you can make it clear why this is happening and what to do in order to avoid it in the future.
    Thank you.
    PS: Illustrator CS6

    Are you using some other app on windows, this should not happen if you are using Illustrator to open a .eps. Open the .eps on mac .ai to confirm the file is vector, before going to PC.
    Do you have any effects on the letters?
    If you are going to windows why not save as a .ai file. If you have the font on Windows, then you don't have to outline (opentype format is best).

    Hi,
    Check to see whether the user you logged on to the system has the permission to the file.
    Also, check to see whether the following link is helpful:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/271513
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313937
    And, based on my research, hang when saving the file also maybe caused by a printer installation.

  • When saving pictures on tumlr they are saved as firefox document which is subsequently a mish mash when reopend

    windows xp, when i wish to save a picture from 'tumblr.com' i frequently only get the option to save the picture as a'firefox' document, not as a jpeg

    When you you right-click to save the picture, type the name of the picture and add .jpeg after the name. e.g. '''mypicture.jpeg''' . It seems that pictures from certain sources (like an iphone sometimes) are causing this problem. Any pictures that you have already saved as firefox documents can be fixed by right-clicking and selecting '''rename''' and adding '''.jpeg''' to the name. This works for all windows operating systems.
    (if you have enabled viewing of file extensions in your folder options you will need to delete '''.htm''' from the name before adding '''.jpeg''')

  • Need help trying to "include Vector Data" when saving as an EPS? Anyone?

    Although I have done this many times before, I cannot seem to figure out why the check box "include vector data" is greyed out.  I am working in CMYK - I have placed my corporate logo as a smart object as usual - and none of my layers have effects applied.  Scratching my head right now.  This is a large format poster so I will definately need to resolve this somehow.  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    Mike Ornellas wrote:
    You have to have a layer with a vector mask applied to it for the feature to show up.
    Or live text or a clipping path.
    Copy the logo from Illustrator to Photoshop. When asked, say you want a Shape Layer (I forget the exact wording). If the logo must be more than one colour, duplicate the layer for each additional colour and, on each layer, delete all path segments that are not needed for that particular colour. Group the layers in a folder for easy moving and scaling.
    And why are you using EPS format? Is there a reason you aren't using the far superior in every way Photoshop PDF format?

  • Error when saving file as .eps

    I created a logo using Illustrator10. It consists of a text part which has a gradient. Now when I try to save this as a .eps file,I gt an error saying that there isnt enough space or the file is too complex.
    If I remove the gradient and fill the text with a single color, I am able to save it as .eps, without any problems.
    Could you please suggest how to resolve this problem ?

  • How to stop iPhoto launch when saving pictures in Safari?

    How do I stop iPhoto from automatically launching or coming to the front of the screen every time I want to save a picture I find using Safari?  It's incredibly annoying that each time I click to save one, iPhoto just jumps right into my face.
    Thanks!

    Hi Neil -
    Thanks for getting back so quickly.  Unfortunately this didn't do the trick. 
    Perhaps I should have been more specific: I'm "adding the photos" to my library.  Each time I do this iPhoto launches.
    Thanks!

  • Saving pictures from email.

    When saving pictures to my iphone from an email the pictures show up very blurry & not as crisp & clean that they had looked in the email. Transfered pictures from my computer to my iphone look great. What is wrong with my pictures? & How can I get them to look good when I save them.
    Thanks,

    I'm having this same problem and it has been going on for a couple of months now. Every time I try and save a picture from an email or the internet, it shows up very blurry on my iphone. This even happens from pictures that I saved from emails awhile ago; they used to be clear and sharp, now they are very blurry.
    Anyone out there have any ideas about this one??
