Hey Guys,
Please i need urgent help.
I have a problem at hand , in which i have jpg files (with white background) and i need to create eps file out of this jpg file with transparent background.

i have already tried this " convert abc.jpg -transparent white xyz.eps", but it does not do anything (it only converts it to a no transparent eps file)

ImageMagic cant let us create eps file from jpg and not let us have a transparent background, i think eps files mostly have transparent backgrounds.

your help would be highly appreciated.

regards,
kanwar

See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/color/#replace.

It is not working when i convert jpg to eps format (eps should be transparent), wen i do as told on the article it works for gif formats, but not for eps

please help

Save the file as EPS2 or EPS3 (EPS does not include support for transparency). The filename looks like this: eps3:image.eps.

i saved the output as eps2 or eps3, but this format is not recognized by Adobe photoshop

do you mean abc.jpg becomes xyz.eps3 or eps2 ?? coz this format adobe photoshop doesnt understand

read magicks reply carefully. it is a prefix EPS3:

"The filename looks like this: eps3:image.eps"

see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#eps

I saw the link you posted, but the problem still remain, even after doing this convert "black_and_white_image.jpg" -alpha on -transparent white eps2:image.eps

the EPS file which is create does not have white color converted into transparent.
Please help.

try EPS3.

Did that too, but it didnt help at all, the sad thing is , when i do the same command and change it from eos to ai, it works, and creates transparent background ai files
