| Sep 9, 2011 at 15:20 | comment | added | Philip Regan | @bozdoz: The necessity of saving to AI as opposed to EPS is really up to how the art is made and its intended use. EPS simply doesn't support everything AI does. DA01 is right about saving in native as a "just in case" measure. | |
| Sep 9, 2011 at 14:36 | comment | added | bozdoz | EPS is able to be opened by many programs; AI isn't. I don't think there is any benefit to the AI format; I was just wondering if someone knew of any. | |
| Sep 9, 2011 at 14:09 | comment | added | DA01 | What's the benefit of saving it as an EPS over AI? ;) I usually just err on the side of 'keep a native copy' of any file I work on and then export as needed into the more universal formats for sharing. | |
