In PSP5 you can save as an .eps file but not open it again. I have been =
told this is because .eps is a vector file format and PSP is a raster =
program. So if you needed to open a graphic in a vector program, you =
would use this file format. In the past I have also been asked by =
printers for this file format, since it was compatible with their =
program, presumably a vector program. There are so many other file =
formats available, I tend not to worry about it. Especially when, in =
Canada, Photoshop costs $900, while PSP costs about $120. ;-)

Pardon my ignorance, but how can I open a .EPS file in PSP5?

All I get is a square with a description written on it :(

I'm on day 1 of my 30 day trial, and it is evaluation version 5.00 if =
that
is any help (win95 platform).
