gogetemgraphix 1 Posted November 9, 2007 i have an adobe photoshop eps and it won't open in signcut. i have tried several things to get it to open, does anyone know what i need to do? thanks lue anne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgreenh 9 Posted November 9, 2007 If you open an eps or other supported vector file in photoshop it automatically changes the vector image to a raster image. When you save it as eps from Photoshop, it contains the new raster image, not the vector. So what you probably have is an eps file that has a raster image in it instead of the vectorized image that you need. Photoshop doesn't do vector images. Post the file so we can look at it.

Guest Terry Posted November 9, 2007 Thats true, you can see the rastor loading. It's no longer a vector file. I don't open any in photoshop, only in illustrator, then I send it to my cut program. (Flexi and Win PC.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgreenh 9 Posted November 9, 2007 I really only use photoshop to adjust or fix an image that I am trying to get a good trace of. Or to doctor photographs to blackmale friends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dgreenh 9 Posted November 9, 2007 You wanted something cuttable right? I thought I understood that you didn't want the black background. Is that correct or did I misunderstand? Anyway, here is the eps traced from the jpg file... It is a long long way from being ready to cut though. kindred -dg.eps kindred -dg.eps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgreenh 9 Posted November 9, 2007 Actually, here is another trace in black and white. It will require a lot less work to make it cutter ready. kindred2 -dg.eps kindred2 -dg.eps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgreenh 9 Posted November 9, 2007 This one was inverted, traced and background deleted. It just isn't the same without the black background. kindred3 -dg.eps kindred3 -dg.eps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gogetemgraphix 1 Posted November 10, 2007 lol i knew you would recongize it i needed it to be cuttable so the background (black) would stay because i have to cut it in 8x12 sheets....i will cut it in white, put on a black sheet and see if he likes it that way...i might have to cut in grey also and reverse weeding to add that. but this is what i was needing and thank you very much! sorry i wasn't clear on what i was needing before. got any angels you could send me?
