Edit Illustrator drawings in Intaglio

Is there any way to get Intaglio to recognize EPS files if they don’t end in “.eps”? I have tons of clip art (think pre-OSX). The OS knows they are EPS files. As stated above, they are grayed out. If I add “.eps” to the end, Intaglio will open them.

It’s kind of a pain if I have to do this whenever I want to place a clip art graphic. Copy from CD to hard drive. Rename. Import. Every other program I have that will read EPS files has not had any problem opening them.

Can Intaglio somehow be enhanced to open these files? Maybe the next version would allow this?

Yes, this problem will be fixed in version 3.0.

I too couldn’t import an .eps file (greyed out) but the drag and drop technique worked.
But I can’t seem to find out how to edit the image. The image is an arrow centred on a blue rectangle. I want to “stretch” the blue rectangle without changing the dimensions of the arrow.
I saw it done at my printers (they sent me the .eps) where they established that there were two separate images on the file. I guess they used some heavy duty graphics application.
Can it be done in Intaglio?
Appreciate any suggestions.

Apologies for previous post. I should have re-read the thread properly before sending off the post - Nick’s suggestion to “convert the resulting PDF to editable graphics” works but I get an “Unknown color space” error message and am left with a B/W image (which I can edit).

Can I easily fix this? Is there something I should ask the people I got the .eps from to do to the original graphic before they send the .eps again?

I have looked in Help and in the Intaglio documentation but can’t seem to find anything.

Thanks.

A color space error like that probably means that the file is using some kind of custom color space. Intaglio only supports RGB, CMYK, and gray color spaces.

Nick, it would be great if Intaglio 3 could support custom color spaces. I’ve found that a great deal of my clip art produces the unknown color space error.
