What is the format of EPS? EPS File Open method

EPS is the Encapsulated PostScript (Encapsulated PostScript) format. The PostScript language is a page description language that Adobe has designed to print files to any printer that supports PostScript languages. except that it is optimized for printing text and images on paper, it is like BASJC language, C language, or any other programming language. When you work on a PostScript printer and tell a word processor (or any other application) to print a page, the computer writes a program that describes the page in PostScript language and sends the program to the printer. The printer actually has a full-featured computer and a PostScript language interpreter that executes the program, draws the graphic to a virtual paper in memory, and then prints it onto paper.

The EPS file format is also called the PS format with a pre view image, which is a text file in a PostScript language and an (optional) low-resolution, low resolution, PICT or TIFF format, an EPS file is an integrated form of the common Interchange format commonly used in desktop printing systems. representing the composition of the image. An EPS file is a PostScript file that includes file header information that enables other applications to embed the file in the document.

(1) The EPS file format is also called the PS format with a pre view image, which is composed of a PostScript language text file and an (optionally) low-resolution representation of the PICT or TIFF format description.

(2) The "encapsulation" unit of the EPS file format is a page, which is one. In addition, the page size can be determined by the overall rectangular boundary of the object on the saved page, so it can be used to save a standard page size in a group version of the software, or to hold a rectangular area of an object of an independent size.

(3) The text portion of the same can be written out of ASCII characters (this produces a larger file, but can be modified and checked directly in the normal editor), or it can be written out by binary digits (the resulting file is small, fast, but inconvenient to modify and check).

(4) Although the method of vector description is used in the EPS file, it can hold the dot-matrix image, but it does not convert the dot-matrix image to vector description, but saves all the pixel data as the pixel file description. For the pixel image of the group version of the clipping and output control parameters, such as contour curve parameters, screen parameters and dot shape, image and color block color device feature file (profile), etc., are used in PostScript language to save separately.

EPS is the abbreviation of Encapsulated PostScript, is a cross-platform standard format, the extension on the PC platform is. EPS, on the Macintosh platform is. EPSF, mainly used for vector image and raster image storage.

　　How do I open an EPS file?

1. Using "Photoshop" to open an EPS file is a PostScript file that includes the header information, which enables other applications to embed the file within the document. There are also some limitations to the EPS file, which do not apply to standard PostScript files. These restrictions are mostly rules to ensure that an EPS file can be inserted into a different file without damaging the file.

2, with Illustator, CorelDRAW software to open the EPS file, you can keep the original file in the vector information.

EPS is a common interchange format, like TIF, does not need a special software to open it, but a variety of software to support this format.
