I haven't been using photoshop very much for a while. Do you still have to save a file with a clipping path as an EPS only? Do tiff files support clipping paths now? Are there other formats that can contain clipping paths (I mean besides PSD files of course)?
thanks
Hmmm...nobody?
Bumpity-bump-bump-bump.
Kids seem to know a lot about this kind of stuff.
Why don't you ask your niece in Rodchester?
boomerang would know the answer to this...
I wonder where she is?
Why don't you PM her?
You can save files with clipping paths as tiffs for use in QuarkXpress 6. Before then, it was eps and I never saved files with paths as anything but so I can't say, really, if any other format supports clipping paths or not.
Thanks, eoe. That's what I thought, and I was too busy at work today to even look into it. I'm freelancing at this place, so I didn't want to ask, and expose myself as not knowing something so seemingly obvious.
You're talking about CS2, I assume? I don't really care about other formats, I just wanted to know about tiffs, really, since that's the biggie. I also assume tiffs with clipping paths work in Indesign. Do you know about that? Anyone?
Thanks.
Considering that InDesign is Adobe's baby, along with Photoshop, it damn well better accept tiffs with paths and anything else pshop has to offer.
Yeah, you're right! Okay, cool. Thanks.
EPS's are best to use for clipping paths. It stands for Encapsulated PostScript with is a fancy way of saying... it supports vector information... which is what your clipping path is.
jpinMilwaukee, thanks, but I know what EPS stands for, believe me. Today my fun special project at the end of the day was to spend an hour scanning 8.5 x 11 glossy magazine pages and converting them to jpgs, EPS files, and finally into one color PDF file small enough to e-mail. I'm out there in the trenches every day, baby!
