Because of the nature of EPS being PostScript, an EPS document doesn't
necessarily have a concept of "resolution" in a normal raster image way.
Many EPS documents are vector graphics, which are scaled to points, 72
points to an inch normally.
Yes Scott, your are right, but I would suggest that IM should offer you
the possibility to evaluate certain data in this respect from the EPS
file. Then it would be up to the user to decide whether this data is
reliable in this certain case or whether it is not.
What I do in my case, is to look in the EPS file where the resolution
information is given like this:
/dpi 255 def
So it is possible to write a batch file that extracts this information
from each EPS file, doing something like
TYPE foto123.EPS | FIND "/dpi" >>list.txt
(I am working on a Windows machine.) This can of course be automated for
all files and the result "list.txt" can be edited into a batch file
feeding "convert" with the right resolutions.
But it would be much easier if IM would offer me a handle to certain
information in the EPS file, comparable to the FIND filter.
