104 CHAPTER 2 Getting Images into Photoshop and ImageReady Opening PostScript artwork Encapsulated PostScript® (EPS) can represent both vector and bitmap data and is supported by virtually all graphic, illustration, and page-layout programs. Adobe applications that produce PostScript artwork include Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Dimensions, and Adobe Streamline. When you open an EPS file containing vector art, it is rasterized-the mathematically defined lines and curves of the vector artwork are converted into the pixels or bits of a bitmap image. You can also bring PostScript artwork into Photoshop or ImageReady using the Place command, the Paste command, and the drag-and-drop feature. (See "Placing files" on page 104, "Using drag and drop to copy between applications" on page 151, and "Using the Clipboard to copy between applications" on page 152.) To open an EPS file: 1 Choose File > Open. 2 Select the file you want to open, and click Open. 3 Indicate the desired dimensions, resolution, and mode. To maintain the same height-to-width ratio, select Constrain Proportions. 4 Select Anti-aliased to minimize the jagged appearance of the artwork's edges as it is rasterized. 5 Click OK. Turning off anti-aliasing for PDF and EPS files (ImageReady) The Anti-alias PostScript option removes jagged edges from a pasted or placed selection by making a subtle transition between the edges of the selection and its surrounding pixels. Turning off this option produces a hard-edged transition between pixels-and therefore the appearance of jagged edges-when vector artwork is rasterized. Note: In Photoshop, you can deselect the Anti-alias option when you open or place a PDF or EPS file. To turn off the Anti-alias Postscript option: 1 Choose Edit > Preferences > General. 2 Deselect Anti-alias PostScript. Clearing this option can decrease the time it takes to import the file. Placing files You can use the File > Place command to place artwork into a new layer in an image. In Photoshop, you can place PDF, Adobe Illustrator, and EPS files; in ImageReady, you can place files in any supported format, with the exception of Photoshop (PSD) files containing CMYK images. When you place a PDF, Adobe Illustrator, or EPS file, it is rasterized; you cannot edit text or vector data in placed artwork. Keep in mind that artwork is rasterized at the resolution of the file into which it is placed.
