| 556157 | 2007-06-05 00:53:00 | Hi Team Mrs T wants to have a window film overlay made with a specific design on it, and I only have her chosen pattern available in hi-res monochrome bitmap and jpg formats. Is it possible to convert either of these to Encapsulated Postscript (EPS) or Adobe Illustrator (AI) formats? The company that makes the window films say that they will have to redraw them at a cost of $200-$300 which makes the job completely uneconomic. Apparently their computer controlled film cutter has to follow a line in one of those two formats. As I understand it from them, there is a little more to it than just "saving as" but I know nothing about graphics files so any advice you can offer would be appreciated. Cheers Billy 8-{) :confused: |

| 556160 | 2007-06-05 01:39:00 | Hmm looks like PSP can save Jpegs in EPS. In monochrome or colour. And when u open the EPS file, you have an option of changing the DPI, putting it in landscape, 24 bit, grey scale, or monochrome. And setting the page size. Just inserted the EPS file into Word 2007. It loaded ok. A bit small tho, but u can resize it. |

| 556163 | 2007-06-05 05:48:00 | The Gimp graphics package should convert the file. jpg, bmp, eps, ps are all supported. (EPS will be an option of the PostScript output). Photoshop will probably do it, too. Google (www.google.co.nz/search?hl=en&q=bmp+to+eps+gimp&meta=), as ever... ;) | Graham L (2) | ||
| 556164 | 2007-06-05 06:03:00 | Just had to joined, saw this thread, so here I am replying. If this is of help. In my experience, when companies refer to using EPS or AI files, they actually require “Vector” graphics rather than “Raster” images. Vector Graphics en.wikipedia.org Raster Graphics en.wikipedia.org Unlike vector graphics, which can be saved as raster’s. Raster graphics will need to be drawn or traced for them to become vector based. Usually this is done manually, however there are applications like Adobe Stream line, which will offer an auto trace option. |

| 556165 | 2007-06-05 06:09:00 | Welcome to PressF1, Karlos. An EPS file does contain the vector information in PS code to be rendered by the target application. It's only the included "preview" image which is raster mode. |
