NOTE ABOUT EPS FILES
When you download an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file from a Web page in Internet Explorer and save the file to your hard disk, the file may be saved with a .ps extension instead of an .eps extension.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

1. Double-click My Computer.
2. On the View menu, click Options or Folder Options.
3. Click the File Types tab, and then click New Type.
4. In the Description Of Type box, type Postscript.
5. In the Associated Extension box, type ps, .eps. NOTE: If you do not type a space between "ps," and ".eps," when you download files with the .eps extension or the .ps extension, the files are saved with a ".ps,.eps" extension.
6. In the Content Type (MIME) box, type application/postscript.
7. In the Default Extension For Content Type box, click ".ps, .eps," click OK, and then click OK again.
8. Empty your Temporary Internet Files folder. To do so, follow these steps:
   
   Internet Explorer 4.0 and 4.01:
   1. In Internet Explorer, click Internet Options on the View menu.
   2. Under Temporary Internet Files, click Delete Files.
   3. Click OK, and then click OK again.

   1. In Internet Explorer, click Options on the View menu.
   2. Click the Advanced tab, click Settings, and then click Empty Folder.
   3. Click Yes, click OK, and then click OK again.

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, rename the encapsulated PostScript file so that it has an .eps extension instead of a .ps extension.

Downloading Artwork from the Web - What Should You Use?

gif? .jpg? .tif? .eps? When you need to download artwork from a Web site, selecting a format can be confusing. Here’s a quick guide to choosing one that will work best for your needs.

GIF (.gif - Graphics Interchange Format): Smallest file size, quickest to download, and most popular for Web and HTML usage. It also has the worst image quality. Use GIFs for Web use only, never for print.

JPEG (.jpg - Joint Photographic Experts Group): Most common format for photographic (or “continuous tone”) images on the Web, even print, depending on file size. JPEGs are smaller than TIFFs by compressing selective digital data. The quality is much greater than GIFs (though less than TIFFs). You can use decompressed JPEGs for print, but they must be the same size or smaller, and at least 200 dpi (“dots per inch”). 300 dpi is preferable for print.

TIFF (.tif - Tagged Image File Format): Generally the best image quality for photographic images; ideal for print applications. Because of the high resolution, TIFFs take much longer to download from the Web than JPEGs, so this format is less preferable than JPEGs for Web and HTML use. TIFFs should be used at the same size or smaller at which they are downloaded. Increasing the size more than 15-20% will distort the image.

EPS (.eps - Encapsulated PostScript): Ideal for vector graphics. Think of vector graphics as images made up of lines and curves instead of dots and subtle shade gradations. Fonts, and many logos, for example, are vector graphics. Unlike photographs, they can be enlarged dramatically without any loss of resolution. EPS files, like TIFFs, are generally large files that take longer to download from the Web. EPS files are excellent for print, but the printer must be a Postscript-enabled printer in order to output the image accurately.

Summary

GIF - fast download speed because of small file size, but relatively poor visual quality. For Web use only, never print.
JPEG - for photos in Web and print use. Print quality of photos will be somewhat inferior to a TIFF.
TIFF - for high quality photographs in print. TIFF files generally require too much bandwidth for efficient Web or HTML use. EPS - for line art, logos with no subtle dot gradations, fonts, vector art. Yes, you can convert photos to EPS files, but the file size will be much larger than that of a TIFF. Most commercial print/design companies have the equipment and technology to work with EPS files.
