After saving an image as an EPS in Photoshop (PC), I tried to import it into Quark. All I got was the box filled with grey and in the center it read Postscript Picture (and the file name).eps. What is is and how can I prevent it?
Quark may need more memory: quit, check it, raise it if necessary. (I use 4x the suggested allocation, but start by doubling and see where that leads.) Quark may be tired: quit, restart, try again. Your image might be corrupt: "save as" with all extraneous info removed (alpha channels, unused paths, color profiles), or try saving as a tiff if possible. If I remember any other causes, I'll update.
Sorry you will have to save the files with a better preview option. You should be able to save the eps's as Macintosh eps's with a 8-bit Macintosh preview. You should see them then.
It will not matter that you are using a PC! If you can't fix it in 20 call someone who can.
Whenever saving EPS's on the PC, both in PhotoShop and Illustrator, remember to check the "8-bit TIFF Preview" check box. Otherwise you'll be working with a grey piece of nothing in Quark, which can be quite frustrating at length.
