Re: [Finale] eps options for FinMac 2k4+

[David H. Bailey]

In Finale you are supposed to be able to select just a portion of a page 
and save that as a graphic, EPS or TIFF.  Some people only can work with 
EPS, I guess, so my question to you would be: In Graphic Converter can 
you select just a portion of the PS file and save THAT as an EPS?  I 
would imagine that is the biggest reason why people are complaining 
about EPS graphics.  That plus there shouldn't need to be an extra step 
(and an extra expense) to do something the program used to be able to 
do, claims to be able to do in its publicity, and the Windows version 
can do, and that the Mac version can do as a TIFF (can't it?)

I can understand why people are upset that the ability to make eps files

why people feel they have no options. Here is something that I wrote to 
the list a few weeks ago and it still applies with the 2004b update:
**************************************************************************************************** 

I just got my copy of Finale Mac 2004 and one of the first things I 
tested was a way to generate postscript files, pdf files as well as eps.

My printer driver (Mac OS 10.3.2) lets me save a print job as postscript 
or as a pdf. To get an eps file from either of those outputs you can 
drop the file onto Graphic Converter and save as an eps.

There are other programs that can also do this, but Graphic Converter is 
cheap ($35), has a long demo period if you just want to try it out, and 
is the Swiss Army Knife of graphic programs.

Is there something about the output of Graphic Converter that isn't 
suitable? I want to know so that I won't keep recommending GC for this 
kind of work.
