I don't know of any off-hand that allows you to view an .eps file prior to downloading it.

thanks,

I use SB.  But I download it befor I can view it. Is that the only way to view it?  Also is there a easy way to change a jpg to a eps file easily?

sure is... inkscape.org (open source, freeware). It's the bomb!

If you need a tutorial on how to do a simple raster to vector, you can search on YouTube. One of the members here posted a quick vid about it.

I am using Paint shop Pro 7 for viewing --

I use SBE, Inkscape and Adobe Illustrator for designing.

Why not use Illy for viewing too?

I can but I have Paint shop set us as the default - It opens MUCH faster and I have been using it for years so I'm used to it.

Hmm... maybe I should reinstall PSP7 and give it another try.

can I find Paint shop Pro 7 and Adobe Illustrator on line with free downloads?

You can download Illistrator at:

You can also download Painshop pro X2 at:

http://www.download.com/1770-2001_4-0.html?query=paint+shop+pro&tag=srch&searchtype=downloads

It's now under Corel not JASC as my version is.

Hope this helps you.

Irfan View will allow you to view an eps file before downloading it, and its free

I second that.  IrfanView is great.  Allows you to look at all of your thumbnails.  Free download too.
