identify vector eps (illustrator) versus pixel (photoshop) eps

Post by julien.battist »

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to distinguish a Vector EPS file (illustrator) versus a pixel EPS file (photoshop) ?
The command "Identify" shows a lot of options but I can't find a clear difference between both of them, maybe I miss it?
Is it even possible ?

Many thanks.

An EPS file can contain vector data, pixel data, or both. If you are asking how you can find which it has, I don't know the answer.

If you are asking which tool created an EPS file, the "Creator" field of exiftool gives you that.
