Version 8.0p Frame Version 10.0.1 Photoshop Version 8.2.6 Adobe Acrobat Professional
I’m not sure if this is the right place to bring up this issue, but my frame document is the one with the problem.
I have been making marketing documents in frame. I built the group’s logo in Photoshop starting with an image I found on the internet of both North and South America using, mostly, dark blue and dark green and added some text into a file called logoc.psd.
Somewhere I read that the correct way to use a Photoshop file in Frame is to convert the Photoshop file into .eps
I converted the logo to eps (logoc.eps). It was copied into a frame in a Frame document where I use other text and graphics created in Frame to make a letterhead-style document in Frame. This document is referenced by other Frame documents which become my marketing flyers. The colourful pdf works fine which I have distributed electronically.
Now, I’m building the Conference Guide for the group. The guide will have everything but the outside cover printed in B&W. I am converting everything to B+W because I want to control how the images will print. In Photoshop I converted logoc.psd to logobw.psd and later to logobw.eps. In the Frame document which has my letterhead style, I have defined "colours" in frame which are 5% grey, 10% grey, 25% grey, etc.
In the pdf which uses logobw.eps the continents and text (in the image) are very blurry. It’s as though the b+w image has been increased to 150% of the original without enough pixels.
In both cases (logoc and logobw) when converted to .eps, the image (as displayed in Adobe Bridge) is about 1/4 the visual size as the .psd. In Frame, logoc.eps looks funny on screen, but renders correctly in .pdf. In Frame, logobw.eps looks the same onscreen as it looks when rendered in .pdf, which is lousy.
I’ve been using Frame for 20+ years but I’m a neophyte at Photoshop. Any ideas?
