== Worst "standards"? ==

Great meaty article, but is "Sadly, EPS is one of the worst "standards" to ever be created" really [[NPOV|neutral]]? --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]]

:No, but the line is gone now. [[User:Zuiram|Zuiram]] 12:22, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

==Converting EPS to SVG==

In case you are trying to include an EPS image in Wikipedia, rather than rendering it as a [[PNG]], consider converting it to [[SVG]]. I was able to do this with the [[pstoedit]] [http://www.pstoedit.net/pstoedit] tool. It did require some manual tweaks to the SVG code, but it worked quite well. The resuling SVG drawing can be seen here: [[:Image:EEA_agency_logo.svg]]. --[[User:ChrisRuvolo|ChrisRuvolo]] ([[User talk:ChrisRuvolo|t]]) 14:04, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

==Vector?==

Is EPS a vector format? WMF and SVG mentioned in relation to it are. Why?--[[Special:Contributions/194.249.198.32|194.249.198.32]] ([[User talk:194.249.198.32|talk]]) 14:14, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

:Yes. It is in Category:Vector graphics markup languages. Why not ? Might be worth stating explicitly ? --[[Special:Contributions/87.194.174.252|87.194.174.252]] ([[User talk:87.194.174.252|talk]]) 08:38, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

::EPS like postscript, pdf, wmf and svg is a metafile format. It can contain vector graphics but it can also contain text, images etc. [[Special:Contributions/130.88.108.187|130.88.108.187]] ([[User talk:130.88.108.187|talk]]) 11:49, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

==File Extension==

Is it worth noting the .EPS file extension in [[Encapsulated_PostScript#Identifying_EPS_files]] ? --[[Special:Contributions/87.194.174.252|87.194.174.252]] ([[User talk:87.194.174.252|talk]]) 08:41, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

== Naming conventions for image file formats ==

Please see the discussion at [[Talk:Image file formats#Naming_conventions_for_image_file_formats]] on naming conventions for articles on image file formats. [[User:Dcoetzee|Dcoetzee]] 00:47, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

== Dubious ==

:Neither of these technologies exist on any other operating system, however.
Vector graphics existed [[Graphical_Kernel_System|only]] on the Mac? And [[Fork_(filesystem)|forks]] are only on the Mac? Someone neutral on this matter should fix this.
[[User:Jdstroy|jdstroy]] ([[User talk:Jdstroy|talk]]) 23:35, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

It does not say that there are no vector graphics on the PC. The technology being described is PICT previews and resource fork & data fork file composites. It also must be remembered that the piece is talking historically, I think eps files were in use in this form even before Windows 3.1 <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/66.207.113.82|66.207.113.82]] ([[User talk:66.207.113.82|talk]]) 18:07, 10 March 2009 (UTC)</span> 

== Get bitmaps out, Inkscape does not open ==
I get hi-res images encapsulated in this format from a business partner. Gah! Has anyone an idea how to get them out? Must be a TIFF or so. Inkscape doesn't even open the format.

== "saving to EPS format" ==

Make the list alphabetical? Which programs are selected for inclusion in the list? [[User:AadaamS|AadaamS]] ([[User talk:AadaamS|talk]]) 12:46, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

== Delete or merge the article ==

The current state of this article is not relevant to the "encapsulated postscript" format in any way -- the wast majority of the article is about how previews has been hacked into the format by various vendors in ways that make it impossible to exchange files once touched by the operating systems these vendors produce and the remaining part of the article is a, very, incomplete list of high-profile software which allows the user to produce files in a esp format. I don't think this article is worth saving as a separate topic but would rather have it deleted or merged with the article on the [[PostScript]] format, of which this format is simply a special case. This article does virtually nothing to make it possible for anyone to identify a file in the esp format nor to describe any real advantages or disadvantages.

== Article summary needs help ==

The article summary misses the forest for the trees. It is technical to the point that it is almost unuseable by general interest readers. Needs to discuss the concept in more accessible language, and to discuss primary usages. For example, see this [http://www.prepressure.com/library/file-formats/eps design site] for an example of what ''should'' be here. --[[User:Theredproject|Theredproject]] ([[User talk:Theredproject|talk]]) 00:24, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

== Needs history ==

Who developed it? When was it released? What improvements have different versions brought? What was the impact/legacy of the format? --[[User:Navstar|Navstar]] ([[User talk:Navstar|talk]]) 01:29, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
