Subject: Converting and viewing images from a MAC


smerc ( ) posted Wed, 05 April 2000 at 11:09 AM ยท edited Mon, 10 February 2025 at 8:44 PM

I need to convert some eps and tiff files from a MAC to PC. I have the files on my PC already, I just need a utility to make them PC ready. Any advice? Its for work so I probably could spend some money for the app. Thanks in advance smerc

PhotoShop, if you have the money (around $600.00 retail) But to add a note. PhotoShop and I think PSP (PC) will read any Tif, and most other files, wheather MAC or PC. EPS is a little tricky, but if it's clean code, PhotoShop just reads it in as as "generic" if it can't make sense of it (99% good read). PSP, the PC standard does a good job of reading all these files to. From the PC side. The biggest difference I have seen between MAC and PC is Gamma. The MAC pictures look very dark on a PC and PC pictures look washed out on a MAC.. GO Figure! James

I was able to read the TIFFs with Paint Shop Pro. Just need to try other programs to read the eps. The marketing department at work moved onto "bigger and better things" and I was asked to convert over our archive of photos and make some of them web ready. I dread working on a 70 MB file on the little computer I use at work :) smerc

If you need to convert a large pile'o'files and actually have a few dollars to spend, then look into DeBabelizer. A better batching system than PS, real web palettes, conversions to just about any format. It's the hidden tool in a lot of Mac graphic pros bag of tricks. jje

GraphicConverter has a batch feature as well, you just have to register with the shareware fee in order to use it. It also features conditional batches, and is seriously cheaper than DeBabelizer.
