<p>This is usually the safest way to import an EPS. Provided Ghostscript is installed and properly <a href="gsfont.html">configured</a>, it works just like with any other <a href="WwImages.html">bitmap image</a>. However, since Scribus uses Ghostscript to rasterize the EPS, loading and rendering may take some time.</p>
<h5>Caveats</h5>
+<ul>
<li>Photoshop can export EPS natively, but these are mostly raster objects within the EPS, with some Photoshop-specific features like layers and blend modes. Photoshop also can export a special type of EPS called DCS (Desktop Color Separations). This flavor of EPS is best imported into an image frame, where Scribus will detect and enable extended image editing/displaying capabilities. See the section about <a href="psd.html">PSD import</a> for more information.</li>
<li>Image mask doesn’t work correctly.</li>
<li>Clipping paths are ignored.</li>
+</ul>
<h4>Importing as a vector drawing</h4>
<p>Importing EPS like any other <a href="importhints2.html">vector file</a> via <i>File > Import >Get Vector File</i>, if possible, does have some advantages. Since you are working with vector data, file size and exported PDF size are relatively small. It makes them resolution-independent, so they can be re-scaled without losing crispness in printing.</p>

-A second potential issue is bitmap file incompatibility and is most likely to occur with recent versions of Illustrator. Illustrator is often used alongside Photoshop, and the changes made to Photoshop’s PSD format since version 6 haven’t been published. Thus, Ghostscript’s attempts to read or convert those embedded PSDs may fail, which will trigger a warning in Scribus:

<li>EPS export quality from other applications can vary widely. Some applications unfortunately like to add their own ingredients to the sauce. The first step for testing a failed import is to open the file in <a href="toolbox6.html">GSview</a>, then press <b>M</b> to watch the messages from Ghostscript while it attempts to open the file. When you have a failure in GSview, the messages can be cryptic sometimes, but they may be a helpful pointer to see what is the problem.</li>
<li>Users saving from Adobe Illustrator 9.0 or later are urged to either export to EPS versions compatible with Illustrator version 7 or less <b>or</b> use Illustrator’s native AI format for import into Scribus. Why? Illustrator 9+ actually uses PDF as a native format and embeds quite a bit of Adobe-specific data in an EPS, which can cause issues when importing. Scribus is not alone with this issue.</li>
