Photoshop should be able to open it.

and photoshop can do the color invertion

[ransom]

EPS = Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop

And either one would allow you to make a negative of the colors, inverting the image.

ghostview also works. can be downloaded for free from http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/

btw, if you have windows, you'll want gsview 4.5. that will allow you to view/save .ps/.eps files.

[uberclkgtr]

but actually, you should be able to import an eps file directly into a microsoft word document. just go the insert file menu item.

if the eps file doesn't have a preview, it may not appear on the screen, but will be a grey box. it will appear when you print it out though.

dude, so this thread solidifies my original thoughts about the board and the board's role in the workplace. look at this knowledge being shared...why can't I post without shame during work. if i come upon something i don't know how to deal with, you can always post about it. *sigh* damn the mothafuckin' man.

when i try to insert into powerpoint or word it gives me a box that asks what format to convert the file from and any option i pick then gives me an error.

the designer we use tried to make our logo in white for me and he couldn't get it to work properly in jpeg or tif format. :shrug:

[uberclkgtr]

designers often use .eps files as they are vector graphics files (can be scaled to an arbitrarily large size with no loss in quality). Graphics files such as jpeg or tiff are raster files, ie, they have pixels, and if you enlarge them, at some point they look crappy. I use eps files every day as an output format for plots of data. gsview works really well in viewing those. when you first run it, you may have to set it to anti-alias and to have 8-bit display (or something like that in the options menu).

if you have a postscript printer kicking around (any large office laser printer usually has postscript capability), you can also just send the .eps file directly to the printer, and it will print it. No problems. postscript and encapsulated postscript (eps) is the native printing language of most printers. :onethumb:
