shopher 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BoltBait 2,788 Report post Posted September 12, 2012 Those are vector formats. Maybe Inkscape would do it? Sorry, I'm not an expert in Inkscape. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barbieq25 946 Report post 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.

midora 203 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love that Failing that how about an indepth step-by-step tute for dummies like me? Pretty please? I've seen Irfanview mentioned but don't know the first thing about it.

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
