convert CMYK JPG to Photoshop EPS

Post by tsuzu »

I'm trying to convert CMYK JPEG to EPS using "convert -density 200x200 abc.jpg abc.eps".
And when I open that abc.eps by Photoshop , photoshop shows "rasterize EPS" prompt.
I want to open eps without that prompt. So I mean, I want to create EPS include raster image not vector image.

I used "-taint" option, but no changes happened.
Could you show me if it can create such format, and how to create it ?
Thanks in advance.

My environment is below
-ImageMagick:6.5.7 on windows
-Photoshop:CS4

I didn't know jpegs could contain vector data. I guess IM is passing it unchanged to the eps file. Try converting that to, say, abc.png, and try reading that with Photoshop.

Why not just read abc.jpg with Phtoshop? What are you trying to do with IM?

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I know jpg contains raster image data.
But convert it to EPS by IM and open it by Photoshop, then it shows "rasterize EPS" prompt.

Because our DPI workflow needs EPS format data, I convert jpg to eps in advance.
And sometimes we must edit its eps by Photoshop on later phase of process.
If possible, we want to edit without showing prompt and rasterizing.

So IM is correctly embedding the raster data in the EPS, and Photoshop is asking a strange question?

As far as I know, IM can do nothing to influence the behaviour of Photoshop.

I suggest you change your workflow, or ask in a Photoshop forum.
