New photoshop question

[Penfold]

Hey all,

I have a logo which is an EPS file. It's an image with some overlaid text.

I open it in photoshop but I can't seem to edit the text at all.

There appears to be only one layer - does that mean it's all uneditable?

Thanks

Im no Uber photoshop god nor am i familiar with that file format but i wouldnt have thought so. To edit the text you would need to select the corresponding layer.

Saving a file compresses the layers and makes them 'flat'.


If i was you i'd wait 'til someone with more knowledge gives you a definitive answer.  :dummy:

eps...I think you want a program called ghostscript...or ghostgum ...orboth. Should be freeware. They read "Encapsulated Post Script" which are typically destined for printers... I think adobe uses similar. Not sure if you'll be able to edit the text but worth a try?

edit: Ghostscript and GSview http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/

it may well have been flattened to a simgle rastified(some word like that) layer and it then becomes just a bunch of pixels without any definite "text" elements...

Hi Pen,

Yes if theres only 1 layer showing in Photoshop you won't be able to edit it.

Have you tried opening it in Illustrator which allows you to alter vector images?
