in reply to Converting EMS files to JPEG and Image Magick

What program was used to create these EMS files? You don't happen to mean EMF, EMZ, or EPS files, do you? The reason I ask is that, in my trade as a graphic designer, I don't recall the 'EMS' format in any other program I've worked with. Neither Photoshop nor the MS Office programs seem to know what they are.

    Sigh...Yeah, I mean EPS files. Sorry for the confusion.

      It looks like ImageMagick (available at CPAN) supports EPS files, but I haven't tried installing it. It looks like a bear of a module, but you /may/ be able to install it without needing to compile a binary via hack-and-slashing the module code. EPS files are tricky since they can basically handle just about any other kind of data. Corion's node may have more information.

      If it were me, and I couldn't get imagemagick or another lib to work, I'd probably resort to using Photoshop's automation techniques. Sorry I can't be of more help...
