Maybe someone can answer this. I have downloaded several different vector graphic collections from various free sites most are in .eps format. Some will open in X3, some won't. I'm curious as to why this happens.

you should be able to import a .eps into corel. Are you trying to open them or import them?

eps. files are Photoshop files. Try using the import command. If you use the import command, you will have to size the image to the aqctual size.

Hi Ellen, I've tried both importing and opening. Corel allows me to import or open the .eps file as an encapsulated post script but not as curves or text or as editable. I get an error message " an error occured while processing gomedia-free-set12.eps the file cannot be opened" P.S. I have several files, besides gomedia.com, that this happens with.

Are the files still zipped?

An .eps file can be Raster or Vector (a bit confusing, eh?) But GoMedia's files should all be vector. Some errors are related to the fact of whether Corel or Adobe were used to create them. For example, if Adobe CS3 was used to create the file, and not saved down to a lower version, then Corel may not recognise it because it is the latest version. You should email GoMEdia and ask them, they should be able to help.

Thanks Robert, some gomedia.com files open and are editable. Never occured to me they could have been created with AI. Maybe thats why they're free. I got what I paid for.

Tom, the files have been unzipped.

Tom, the files have been unzipped.

OK - I can't think of anything else - I use a lot of GoMedia's vectors with X3 - never had a problem. Robert's idea sounds like the way to go. Good Luck!
