Options for Files Saved as Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)
Saving in EPS file format for Printing
EPS files in Corel Painter conform to the Desktop Color Separation format (EPS-DCS format). Although you save files in EPS-DCS, you can't open EPS-DCS. If you plan to save an image in EPS-DCS, it's a good idea to save it in another format first so you will have a copy of it you can reopen in Corel Painter.
When Output Preview is turned on and you save in EPS, Corel Painter uses the loaded ICC profiles to control separation. If Output Preview is turned off, Corel Painter uses the default separation tables. For more information, refer to "Color Management".
To save a file in EPS format
- Choose File menu > Save As.
- In the Save As dialog box, choose EPS from the Save As Type pop-up menu, and click Save.
- In the EPS Options dialog box, enable the Hex (ASCII) Picture Data option to change the data format.
This is just another way of storing PostScript information. Some programs require this option be checked. The file size will be approximately twice as large when the file is saved with this option.
- Enable one of the following Preview options:
- No preview
- Black and white preview
- Color preview
- If you have an older laser printer, you may have to use the black and white preview to print these files on your laser printer. Although the preview or display is black and white, the color information remains intact.
- If you are going to create on-line documents as well as printed documents-for example a PDF-be sure to choose a high-quality color preview.
