Managing Files Saved in EPS Format

Images saved in Corel Painter as encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files conform to the Desktop Color Separation (EPS-DCS) format.

Saving a File in EPS Format for Printing

Although files can be saved in EPS-DCS format in Corel Painter, EPS-DCS files cannot be opened in Corel Painter. If you plan to save an image in EPS-DCS format, it’s a good idea to save a copy in another format first so that you can reopen it in Corel Painter.

When Output Preview is turned on and you save a file in EPS format, 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 Understanding Color Management.

To save a file in EPS format Back to Top
1
 
Choose File menu Save As.
2
 
In the Save As dialog box, choose EPS from the Format (Mac OS) or Save As Type (Windows) pop-up menu, and click Save.
3
 
In the EPS Save Options dialog box, enable the Hex (ASCII) Picture Data check box to change the data format.
Enabling this check box allows another method of storing PostScript information, but it approximately doubles the size of the saved file. Some programs require this option to be enabled.
4
 
Enable one of the following preview options:
No Preview
Black and White Preview
Color Preview
You may need to use the Black and White Preview option to print EPS files on some laser printers. Although the preview or display is in black and white, the color information remains intact.
If you are creating a document that will be printed as well as viewed online (for example, if you are creating a PDF), enable the Color Preview option.
