Tom,

I did some checking in the Google archives on this topic . What I've concluded is that you may be correct under certain circumstances. The problem is that not everyone pays attention to the particulars of the circumstances. So the general advice remains that when going from PhotoShop to PageMaker, use TIFF, as this is the safest for all kinds of output devices. However, if you know that you are targeting a PostScript device as your final output, then EPS may give better results, as you say. Also, of course, you have to use EPS if you are going to create a clipping path in PhotoShop.

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.)
