Reply To: Using eps format for graphic files

There is virtually no reason to use EPS from Photoshop. See this great post and the followup comments for more:

There are some reasons to use vector graphic EPS files, but in most cases I'd recommend PDF instead. Here are my main reasons to use vector eps files:

• The graphic was created by a program (not a human), such as a barcode or a pattern created by Teacup Software's plug-ins. Those create EPS files algorithmically, and it is much better to use them as EPS files for technical reasons. Similarly, some database or technical programs export EPS files and cannot make PDF files, so your'e stuck with EPS. No big deal.
• If you already have a vector graphic EPS format, there is very little reason to change it to something else. I might change if it were a logo that I was going to be using a bazillion times, but I just leave more eps artwork alone.
• If it's a graphic that you may need to use in QuarkXPress 4 or 5 or something, then leave it as EPS, which works best in those old programs.
