Include Vector Data

Preserves any vector graphics (such as shapes and type) in the file. However, vector data in EPS

and DCS files is available only to other applications; vector data is rasterized if you reopen the file in Photoshop. This
option is only available if your file contains vector data.

Image Interpolation

Applies anti-aliasing to the printed low-resolution image.

Photoshop EPS encoding options

ASCII or ASCII85

Encodes if you’re printing from a Windows system, or if you’re experience printing errors or other

difficulties.

Binary

Produces a smaller file and leaves the original data intact. However, some page-layout applications and some

commercial print spooling and network printing software may not support binary Photoshop EPS files.

JPEG

Compresses the file by discarding some image data. You can choose the amount of JPEG compression from

very little (JPEG Maximum Quality) to a lot (JPEG Low Quality). Files with JPEG encoding can be printed only on
Level 2 (or later) PostScript printers and may not separate into individual plates.

Save a file in Photoshop DCS format

DCS (Desktop Color Separations) format is a version of EPS that lets you save color separations of CMYK or multi-
channel files.

1

Choose File > Save As, and choose Photoshop DCS 1.0 or Photoshop DCS 2.0 from the Format menu.

2

In the DCS Format dialog box, select the options you want, and click OK.

The dialog box includes all the options available for Photoshop EPS files. Additionally, the DCS menu gives you the
option of creating a 72-ppi composite file that can be placed in a page-layout application or used to proof the image:

DCS 1.0 format

Creates one file for each color channel in a CMYK image. You can also create a fifth file: a grayscale

or color composite. To view the composite file, you must keep all five files in the same folder.

DCS 2.0 format

Retains spot color channels in the image. You can save the color channels as multiple files (as for

DCS 1.0) or as a single file. The single-file option saves disk space. You can also include a grayscale or color
composite.

Save a file in Photoshop Raw format

1

Choose File > Save As, and choose Photoshop Raw from the Format menu.

2

In the Photoshop Raw Options dialog box, do the following:

(Mac OS) Specify values for File Type and File Creator, or accept the default values.

Specify a Header parameter.

Select whether to save the channels in an interleaved or noninterleaved order.
