[Framers] OT: Adobe Tool Question

Hi All, I need to start work with EPS graphics for a project and I currently have just SnagIt in my arsenal of tools. It has served me fine until this requirement, and I am sure that working with EPS graphics is probably the start of other graphic considerations for me. My question is this: I

Re: [Framers] OT: Adobe Tool Question

Tammy, Photoshop really isn't set up to handle vector graphics, such as line drawings. But it can handle and output photos and screen captures. I use both but prefer Illustrator. Illustrator's native .ai format is the same as .eps. I import .ai photos by reference into Framemaker and it works

Re: [Framers] OT: Adobe Tool Question

Illustrator is for vector graphics, Photoshop is for bitmaps. EPS is a vector format, so you should use Illustrator to edit it. You can sort of edit EPS in Photoshop, but not really. If you really need to edit EPS, I would not mess around with anything but Illustrator. Is that really a hard

I'd take a good look at Inkscape. It probably does all you need, is a good vector graphics editor, and is free (open source) .. https://inkscape.org/ Between PS and AI, you'd want to use AI for EPS. Assuming you're using EPS because you want vector graphics, AI is a vector graphics

Inkscape can't open EPS files, so you have to convert them: https://inkscape.org/en/learn/faq/#how-to-open-eps-files-in-windows http://kristarella.com/2010/03/edit-eps-files-in-inkscape-on-mac Then exporting to EPS when you're done is problematic:

Thank you everyone. This list is invaluable. OK, I understand all the ins and outs of the difference apps., and stuff about the subscription vs. perpetual licenses, so I have what I need for now. I am sure that I will have a few more questions later on today as I try to wrap up this process.

I highly recommend the Xara products. I use their image editing and video products with good results. I switched to their perpetual licensed tools when Adobe went cloud licensed based. Z Get Outlook for Android On Wed, Sep 7, 2016 at 9:05 AM -0700, "Shmuel Wolfson"

Re: [Framers] OT: Adobe Tool Question

Is EPS required for any reason other than exporting for placement in FrameMaker? If there's no other reason you need EPS, you don't need to worry about whether the drawing application can edit EPS files. In fact, you could probably forget about EPS entirely, and export PDF or EMF to place in
