shopher Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I was wondering if there were any plugins that would allow me to open and edit the .eps and .ai files for paint.net? Thank you in advance for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 That'd be a great plugin Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry. April Jones, 2012 Gallery My DA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Those are vector formats. Maybe Inkscape would do it? Sorry, I'm not an expert in Inkscape.

barbieq25 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 There is probably a really good reason why this has not happened yet. Yes, they are vector & I suppose it is like trying to run a car on water instead of fuel which technically can be done with a lot of modifications. The only reason I'd like it is because I have signwriting software that uses those files & it would be good if I could import those files to use them. I have no experience at all with Inkscape. If that software opens .eps & .ai files & it is possible to save those then as a .png it could be a good work-around. Food for thought. Thanks BB. Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

midora Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 In the moment I would propose to use Irfanview to do the conversion to bitmap files. Irfanview uses Ghostscript to render the vector image to bitmap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midora Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Sounds like you know a bit about this midora. Knock us up a plugin would you Old Chap? ;-) OK, OK, but not today. Failing that how about an indepth step-by-step tute for dummies like me? Pretty please? It's not so complex. Install Irfanview (an Image Browser), the Irfanview plugin pack and ghostscript. Set the render resolution in the Irfanview settings. Open a ps or pdf flie in Irfanview. Save it as png or what else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 You are going to write a plugin for that? Oh WOW! Frankincense & myrrh! What a great person you are. I will try what you said too.
