Batch Convert .eps images
-
Hello
I have recently acquired a whole lot of images, 1500+, in .eps format. I am wanting to convert them all to .jpg while resizing them all by 300% and keeping the quality. I tried Photoshop CS2 but it only resizes the first image properly and the rest end up pixelated. All the images can be resized fine individually but that would take days of straight manual converting
I was looking for a program to convert and resize .eps images that is free but couldn’t find anything that worked. What can I do or is there a way to get around that problem in Photoshop?
The method I was using is at the following url

I have been putting together some of my helpful links into a blog and came across this batch convertor called Picture Resizer available at http://www.rw-designer.com. It looks very handy but havent given it a wizz yet.

You can thank me later.
PS If you do give it a "wizz" can you please let us know what you thought of it thanks.
Cheers Jeff

I downloaded and tried it. It is just an app for re-sizing .jpg images. Thanks for the help though. I had a play around with it to see if it was good at what it was made for. It was a bit confusing and needed a bit of reading to understand how it worked but it seemed to do its job.
It wasn’t quite what I was looking for but thanks anyway

it's free, works very fine!I had a look and I had actually used this program before for a different reason with no result. I had a crack at it with the .eps files. I had to download the ghostscript but I just get an error message every time i try to convert. It just says "Error! Can't load" and "Can't load PlugIn: POSTSCRIPT.DLL"
Oh well...Thanks for the help

Could you upload a group of 10 or something for us to play with? I'm cofused why the fist one works and then it breaks after that. I've never encountered that and I run a lot of batches. But I've also NEVER worked with .eps files.

Go there and load the Post Script DLL !

Plugins updated after the version 4.20:
Postscript - improved AFPL Ghostscript registry check.Unzip and past it in the Root Folder Plugins of Irfranview!
Story continue : use the line command of Goshtscript is a mess!
You must have GhostView
(but seems you don't need to use it if you have yet your eps images!
Now all is cool
Irfranview can read the EPS file and make anything you want in Batch mode!
Here the view of the directory of the computer inside Ifranview where you choose any file eps
(here the 2 bottom page files eps) for Batch processing for
convert, resize, colorize ...etc as you want from 1 image to 1500 images if you want in one pass
Et voilà

Thanks Pilou
But the conversion isnt very good. It converts all to the correct size and eventhough the files are made in coreldraw and can be resized without quality loss they still have quality problems. The lines turn out rough and the colours turn into weird patterns....
I guess its the best I'll get, thanks for the help.

Here is a zip file of 10 mazda images in .eps format.
http://cid-4a6ec86d99895c84.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/eps.zip
If you manage to convert these files to a high quality and to 300% size would you be willing to batch convert the rest?
The original .eps files are of infanitely resizeable quality but this is a sample of what happens when i convert them (I had to decrease the size of the image, eventhough, it is still really bad quality
The lines should be smooth and sharp and that strange pattern should be grey. -
Is that you want?
Seems there is absolutely no problem!
Irfanview: Loading file as any graphic format ---> save in PNG format (but you can take anything)And here the JPG Folder where you will find for example in Batch processing work the all files in JPG format!
All takes me 5 seconds! so for 1500 images = 7 500 seconds = 2 hours
(but I have a very old comput more than 5 years old!
Absolutely no problem!Sorry I don't see the 300% wished so here an example of PNG format in 300%
You must have no problem for make the same!

It also worked in photoshop for me. Do you have someplace that you can upload them all to?

The post were too numerous for me to read, but as a last resort you may be able to use a batch file in an command window to do the following:
Open the conversion program with parameters (for %%x in (*.eps) do program.exe %%x < commands.dat) where "<" redirect a command.dat file with the necessary program key strokes. Will not work (to the limit my knowledge) if the program is pure windows and has no execute file.
Not sure of the exact commands, you can look them up in MS command documantation. Batch file are capable of loops via goto. Sorry but I haven't done this lately.

I have tried in many diffent ways but I cant get it to convert well.
Here is the full archive of files(both parts needed):
Part 1: http://xmdolg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p4rfa-CPRoRHPVNciBXQto3aDzv6fpQ4Pzq8DFSYpsrGWX9xF9kvtFYuJvm-FemB7eG0oI3TzfbpR3NXP4MsfqQ/EPS.part1.rar?download -
So tell me if you can make from a JPG or PNG format with a batch process 300% ?
so I can transform eps on any format you prefer
make also 300% will be not practical because file will be too big for uploading
300 % = 500 kb * 1953 = 1 giga!
100% = 75 KB * 1953 = 150 megas!Ps Seems you have send twice the sames files!
What format do you want?
And I don't understand very well advantage to have thousand of files * 300%
Any modeler can make a background image * 300 % directly
And you can't modelize 2000 models in the same time! -

What format do you want?I dont quite understand what you are trying to say...
I am wanting to batch convert the .eps images from the .rar archives from the links above.
So, the images will be converted from the default .eps, size: 700x400 into .jpg, size 1750x1000 and I want them to still be the same high quality.
That means an increase in resolution by about 3x
-
You never has the same quality when you increase "Pixel image" format!!!
If format EPS is a vectorial format yes you will have same quality in 300%
but in this case you must use another prog than Irfranview!
it's why I don't understand necessity to convert!What do you want in last?
An image or a vectorial file?
And what is the nature of your priginal EPS FILE? (a scan or a a CAD drawings )
And for what is all that? -
I want to turn the vectorial .eps file into a high-res .jpg image so I can use it in SketchUp for 3D modeling. A .eps file is useless to me otherwise.
If IrfanView can't do that then I'll need another program to batch convert the images.Chris Fullmer, if you are able and willing to convert the images fine to how I need them can you convert the ones from the following file: http://xmdolg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p2gygMqsEnKuNiI4ooxWLEo0vyx96jBw8fAs58ECdnbtZzsndLVpNnWeOaNhTjLITvIhk846GaOde48JGJljQZA/eps.zip?download

Seems your orignal file are not "vectorial" but just pixels!
A format EPS can mix Pixels and vectors but seems in this case your cars are not vectorial! -
I have opend them in photoshop and resized them perfectly. They are made in coreldraw so they can be resized and keep perfect quality. I just need a way of batch converting them. IrfraView cant do it so i need something else.
-
I can't believe that toshop CS2 can't make that for a lot of images if it's works for one image!
-
Photoshop CS2 just has a problem batch converting files. It isnt a well made plug-in. I dont currently ahve CS2 installed on my cmputer because it craped out a couple of days ago but when i gt it re-installed I will give you an example of what is happening.
