I tried using EPS in Pagemaker. The results were horrible. The photo looked like a stipple drawing. This was in Pagemaker 6.0
What am I missing?
You are missing a couple things. First, the image you see in Pagemaker is either a 1-bit or an 8-bit TIF preview. Print the page out (to a PS printer only) and you will likely see that the image is better than displayed on your monitor.
What Im trying to do is, export an image from PS 6.0 with a drop shadow and a transparent background into a document with a gray background in ID 1.0.2/PM 6.0 (either or).
Ed, AFAIK, Photoshop EPS will not retain transparency in Pagemaker. Only Illy EPS, which is different han PS will do the transparency. Your best bet is to create a TIF with the transparency and drop shadow and matching background color of your document. Also PM6.0 was a kludge, if you can afford, you should upgrade to 7.0 ($79 in the states) for best results in PM.
