How to save graphics as an eps file correctly in Photoshop?

Question

I need to get a logo printed that I made in Photoshop. My printer person says I need to save it in .eps format.

The logo is simple. It's pretty much just a gray font, but I've outlined it in white.

What is my background supposed to be? The default background is white, so, you can't see the actual white outlining, only the gray font. Do I keep it white? Make it a dark color? Transparent?

Answer 1

When your printer asks for an EPS file, they're really asking you for a file produced by Adobe Illustrator, not Photoshop. The difference is Illustrator is a vector drawing program and you can scale the images produced in Illustrator to any size and still maintain full resolution. Photoshop produces bitmapped images which are fine for photos, but for line art drawings like your logo probably uses, it's not the best choice. Yes, Photoshop will produce an EPS file, but it's still going to be bitmapped.



You have two choices. Switch to Illustrator and recreate the logo in that application. The logo sounds pretty easy to make so you shouldn't have too much trouble. When you save out the file, your choices are to save as .ai, .eps or .pdf. Since your printer is asking for .eps, you should use that format.



The second choice is to stick with Photoshop if that's all you've got. Create a new layer and move all the graphics to that layer. Then delete the background layer. You should be able to see both the grey text and the white outline floating above the checkered pattern which represents the transparent background. Unfortunately, Photoshop EPS files don't support transparency so you'll have to save out in native Photoshop format (.ps). This maintains transparency and most graphics programs can handle a .ps file.

A couple things - first off, it's listed as Photoshop EPS in the Save As list, so maybe you just aren't seeing it. If under Mode you are at 16bit or 32bit instead of 8bit, it won't allow you to save as an eps. There could be some other settings that are keeping you from saving it that way, too.

In the Editor, choose File > Save. To change file-saving options, such as the filename or format, choose File > Save As, set any of the following file-saving options, and then click Save. Note: Some file formats open another dialog box with additional options. File Name Specifies the filename for the saved image. Format Specifies the file format for the saved image. Include In The Elements Organizer Includes the saved file in your catalog so that it displays in the Photo Browser. Note that some file formats supported in the Editor are not supported in the Elements Organizer. If you save a file in one of these formats, like EPS, this option is unavailable. Save In Version Set With Original Saves the file, then adds it to a version set in the Photo Browser to keep the different versions of the image organized. This option is unavailable unless Include In The Organizer is selected. Layers Preserves all layers in the image. If this option is disabled or unavailable, there are no layers in the image. A warning icon at the Layers check box indicates that the layers in your image will be flattened or merged for the selected format. In some formats, all layers are merged. To preserve layers, select another format. As a Copy Saves a copy of the file while keeping the current file open. The copy is saved to the folder containing the currently open file. ICC Profile Embed a color profile in the image for certain formats. Thumbnail Saves thumbnail data for the file. This option is available when the Ask When Saving option for Image Previews is set in the Preferences dialog box. Use Lower Case Extension Makes the file extension lowercase. Note: UNIX file servers are often used to help send information over networks and the Internet. Some of these servers do not recognize uppercase extensions. To make sure your images arrive at their destinations, use lowercase extensions.
