  Using Vector Images


These vector images are in eps file format.

They can be scaled to any size with no loss of quality.

Vector images can be broken appart, modified, colours of each vector can be changed and much more..

When an EPS file is imported and it appears jagged or "chopped up" or is not true vector art that can be edited then it has been imported with the wrong eps filter.

There are two EPS filters in most programs:

Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)
PostScript Interpreted (PS, PRN, EPS)

If you are using the first filter on EPS import (Encapsulated PostScript), only the header will be rendered. It will appear as a low resolution bitmap, but will print correctly to a PostScript printer.

If you are using the PostScript Interpreted filter, the EPS file will be imported as vector lines and can be edited.
