Hi,

As I mentioned to Dick offline, even though EPS around a bitmap is still a bitmap, EPS allows you to set the interpolate flag mentioned below, which guarantees getting the max resolution out of Postscript print devices, including Distiller. With this flag set, interpolation happens at print time, not at save time, and the images are always crisp.

This characteristic is specific to Postscript, not the receiving application. If PageMaker can import Photoshop EPS (Dick's not sure it can), and if the target is PDF or a PostScript printer, this is still my recommendation.

(Note: I'm on digest here, so copy me on replies you want me to see right away.)

Cheers,

Tom Neuburger

Thomas,

Peter's original request made no mention of Frame. He was dealing with PageMaker.

An EPS saved out of PhotoShop is a raster image with an EPS wrapper. It is not a vector diagram. Saving a PhotoShop image as an EPS is not helpful when working in PageMaker.
