Joe: there are many flavors of EPS files. ProDraw has its own, Art Expression has its own, Adobe Illustrator has its own, etc. The Adobe Illustrator file format is the psuedo-universal exchange format for EPS files. I haven't used Photoshop a lot, but even so, I'm not sure what you're trying to do. ProDraw outputs vector drawings. Photoshop loads bitmap pictures. EPS files can contain either or both. I can't see how a ProDraw clip could be loaded into Photoshop, unless they have some sort of render from vector function. btw, The only way to convert a ProDraw clip to Adobe Illustrator EPS is to convert the ProDraw clip to IFF DR2D using the converter supplied with Art Expression, then load the DR2D into Art Expression and export it as Adobe Illustrator. This can also be done with PageStream 3.0 when it's released. Simply import the ProDraw clip and export it back out in Illustrator EPS format. Michael @ Soft-Logik Publishing Corp.
