    Images -AI and EPS files

    Hi to all, I just purchased an image from istock which dowloaded as a zipped AI and EPS file - I can't seem to open or download the image to my computer or webpage - do I need to convert it to something else? and how do I do that?

    thanks heaps!

    Hi anjee
    EPS is a prepress format for printing...adobe....BUT...
    "TIFF: Most EPS files created by Windows applications contain a TIFF file for preview purposes.''
    Maybe TIFF image format will work for you..
    Or a PDF reader
    Hope that helps

      It may be worthwhile to download a program such as GIMP so you can export/convert it to a different file format.

      GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program: The Free and Open Source Image Editor

          Hi Anjee

          That's a shame they didn't give you a jpeg file also - especially if you had to pay for it?

          AI are Adobe Illustrator files (expensive program!) but you can open EPS with irfanview.com (it's a super simple free little program) Irfanview can open a huge amount of different formats, including EPS.

          Alternatively, you can insert an EPS into Word and just copy and paste it into a graphics program.

          (I love gimp - bit of a learning curve but terrific. Not sure if it opens ai & eps though? http://www.gimp.org/features/ )

            You can open the files in Photoshop as well if you have that.

            If you don't you can DL Illustrator and Photoshop for 30 days free from the Adobe website.

            I personally use Illustrator, it's an amazing design program.
