Hello,
I have dozens of EPS files I'd like to convert to JPG on my PC. I dread having to convert each of these manually by loading it in PhotoShop and doing a "aving as". In light of this, I Googled for a convertor tool but could not locate one.
Can you tell me if there is such a convertor tool available? Hopefully this will allow me to alter the EPS files into JPG files on a PC, preferably in batch mode.
Looking forward to your feedback.
Regards,
NBB

Hi Steve,
Which version are you using? I do have an "Automate" feature that leads to "Batch", which in turn leads to a "Play" dialogue (including: set: "Default Actions") and a source and destination folders. However, there's no conversion feature there, unfortunately.
BTW, I've got PS 5.0 here (only use it to convert the occassional EPS or some such).
Your suggestions appreciated.

Yup, makes perfect sense. That's to say, if PS 5.0 actually comprises the Macro feature, which I doubt a little, because it's not in the File dialogue.
Unless you're saying that I merely need to go through the "save as..." motions while in "Batch" mode. Correct? We're certain that this macro feature exists?
As you may have gathered: I'm not a Techie, nor a PS user.
Should standalone tool come to mind, by all means share your pearls of wisdom.
Cheers.
NBB
All the points :)

n5ac,
You were right all along. I eventually managed to figure out the "Automate" dialogue (it's not intuitive, mind you). I'm currently doing the batch mode, getting a few errors but I can suppress these, no probs.
Quite sexy this feature; didn't realize that even the old fogie PS 5.0 had this.
To the other Experts,
I did not get any of the third party tools to work. Either they could not read this specific EPS species, or only did a few at a time or proclaimed to only convert EPS when purchased. Either way, thanks to you for your suggestions.
Full marks to n5ac.
Regards,
NB

I've had to do the same thing before -- it's quite simple:
1. Open a sample EPS file
2. Just create a macro in Photoshop (window ... actions [make sure it's checked], go to the actions palette, click new action [paper turning icon on the bottom], and then record). Do a Save As... and set the JPG options you like. Then stop recording the macro.
3. Do a File ... Automate ... Batch, then make the appropriate selections for the macro name (that you created above) and an output folder.
This should do the trick. I'm suggesting this from memory, so let me know if you have any issues and I'll retry this myself.
