Hi,
I have this project I need to print in a newspaper. It’s a PSD in CMYK, 300dpi (20 cm x 32 cm). I was told it need to be a TIFF or a EPS with text layers converted to paths.
So I’ve "turned into shape" every text layer I’ve had (it’s tricky ‘couse this way 1 text layer = one font color … so if I had a block of text with 3 different colors I had to break it into 3 different layers … anyways) and saved it as a TIFF and EPS. Just to see which one will be better (resemble my original PSD more?).
Ok so after "saving as" TIFF my file grew from 177mb to 208mb and I still had layers and eveything (I’ve never actually used TIFF files as the main project files). I can preview the file in IrfanView – I understand TIFF still contains all my paths right? (well it should being a 200+ mb file ;))
I then tried the "Save As Photoshop EPS". Now the file is 95mb aaaaaand I cannot open it with any Adobe software. why is that?
Photoshop says:
"could not complete your request becouse the parser module cannot parse the file" and Illustrator says:
"The operation cannot complete becouse of an unknown error"
What am I doing wrong?
By the way – I’ve always thought that EPS is a paths-only format. It seems it can also contain raster graphics?
In my project all the fonts and most of the shapes are paths, but I do have raster objects. Is that it?
