Jonas and Brian,
It is understood that EPS output is for the use of Postscript hardcopy output.
The question you are asking is why would anyone want to bring an EPS file into
an image editing program? The idea is to check the image prior to printing.
Of course a targa or tiff file can be loaded in Photoshop, that's not the
point.
The point is that if the EPS output is ADOBE compatible then I should be able
to open it in ADOBE software. Especially, Photoshop. If it won't then it
isn't compatible.
>> My guess is that the person misunderstands how it works.
As for the DPI/image size issue. It is a well documented fact that the R4
manual is less than completely lucid in many areas. Try it. Render an 8×10
image at 150 DPI and see what you get. The result will be relative to the
resolution of the render image setting, but not the size specified in the EPS
configuration dialogue. This is immediately apparent when the image is brought
into a DTP program like Quark Express. Perhaps "the person misunderstands"
something that is not apparently well documented. …
Still awaiting enlightenment.
