    Placed rasterized photoshop .eps files dpi varies, why?

    badchess Community Member

      Placing an bitmapped .eps file from Photoshop, sometimes the file comes in at the dpi it was saved at, (say, 1.25 inches wide and 1200 dpi) and sometimes at 72 dpi (and a couple of feet wide).

       

      Is there something the creator of the .eps file has set in photoshop that is causing Illustrator to interpret the incomoing dpi?

       

      I realize a 1.25 inch 1200 dpi file has the same information as a 26+ inch 72 dpi file, but it causes an extra key stroke (a recorded action to resize the placed file).  Not all the time, just some times.

       

      Not a big deal, but I wonder why.

       

      I open the customer's .eps file in Illustrator and it opens at 72dpi/26 inches.

      I open the customer's .eps file in photosohp, hit "save" and open it in Illustrator at 1200dpi./1.25 inches.

       

      Is there a setting in photoshop (or Illustrator) that is causing this?
