xJoey Dubsx 42 Posted September 13, 2013 For some reason anytime I export into an EPS and then open it in Photoshop, it seems to be really jagged.. Anyone know the best way to make it a nice smooth printable shape? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,451 Posted September 13, 2013 Photoshop converts it to a raster graphic, hence the jaggies. Only a vector program (Illustrator, Inkscape, Corel,etc.) will import/open in the original vector format. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slice&dice 2,451 Posted September 13, 2013 Photoshop is a raster-based program. Try exporting your SignBlazer file as a .jpg (make it as big as you feel comfortable with, maybe 3000 pixels, and Best Quality) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xJoey Dubsx 42 Posted September 13, 2013 For some reason, it doesn't always allow me to export as a JPG. Not sure why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,451 Posted September 13, 2013 Why are you even going through Photoshop anyway? SignBlazer can print your graphic directly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caroline19 1 Posted September 26, 2013 Graph can be exported to various image file formats with an image converting control, such as JPEG , GIF , EPS , TIFF , etc. Meanwhile, it is able to set the graphic to a customized one by image processing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slice&dice 2,451 Posted September 28, 2013 The SignBlazer export to .jpg feature probably uses a very low-resolution algorithm, since it's mainly designed for proofing to clients (letting them see what the sign will look like, but not allowing the client to have a high-res file that can be used for 'stealing' your design and going elsewhere for production) Have you tried exporting as .pdf or .tif ? Perhaps those will provide a cleaner image that you can work with for your flyers and cards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neuromax 97 Posted September 28, 2013 Like everyone said, PS is a raster program but you can do what you want you just need to make the eps file larger. In other words if you want your final image to be 2"x2" in photoshop make the vector in a 12"x12" then open it in PS and resize it to the smaller image and it will keep the smooth lines.
