I have some images taken with a digital camera that I am editing in Photoshop. I need to save these images as EPS files as I'm adding clipping paths to crop out backgrounds. When I bring the image into Microsoft Publisher the image it is much darker and the color has changed from the orginal image in photopshop. It also prints much different than in photoshop. When saving the EPS image i select 8-bit TIF preview with binary encoding and the only other option selected is use postscrip colour management. I have tried switching the Color profile under the settings in photoshop but it had no effect in publisher.

I am using Publisher 2003 and Photoshop 6.0. Photoshop looks and prints perfect, what do I have to do to get Publisher to do the same? Thanks for any help!
 
The darkened image also happens with bitmap pictures. My workaround is to increase the image Brightness by 5%-10%.
 
First of all...you don't have to save a Photoshop document that has a clipping path as an eps. That was in the old days. With versions 6,7 and CS you can simply save the file as a tif.
 
My suggestion.. which might not help, is if you have Photoshop, you shouldnt be using Publisher. Publisher is a low rent app by a company that obviously doesnt know a thing about page layout programs. Get InDesign... or at LEAST QuarkXpress. I would suggest InDesign though. Best program out there.
