It avoids the Windows GDI. So your CMYK will remain unchanged and there is no need to convert to EPS.

That and the fact that Adobe Bridge (another CS app) does a lot of the work of Windows Explorer and Mac Finder, makes you wonder why they don't just build their own OS using Flex. Adobe OS!

also working with images
I've inherited responsibility for some Frame docs. Almost all of the images are .eps created in Illustrator and .jpg modified in Photoshop (there are matching.psd files for the .jpg files). These images are imported by reference, and the Frame docs only get PDF'd (no Help, web, etc.). What about using the .ai and .psd files directly? -- Milan Davidovic http://altmilan.blogspot.com http://stctorcomp.blogspot.com ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
