Hey,
We’re working on scripting a means of opening a press-res image in and saving screen-res out. Everything works, but my boss threw in a wrench - gotta read in Illustrator EPS files. Don’t want to buy Photoscripter (i know, i know), so we’re looking at GraphicConverter. EPS2PICT, however, supports only PS level 1, and GhostScript flakes out. Any suggestions?
Sorry if this is useless as I just found this forum look for help with my first script and don’t really have a clue about what I am doing… What about making a script, or a part of your current script, for AI to open the EPS and export it as something GC can handle before GC does it’s business? The whole thing could be done with a PS droplet too, with no need for GS at all, instead.
What version of Photoshop are you running?
Even if you’re running something like 5.5 or 6.0, most if not all of what you’re wanting to do can probably be done via a Photoshop droplet and a couple of lines of AppleScript.
