Overnight, it seems, about 1/3 of my EPS photo files were
corrupted. These were greyscale image knockouts with
clipping paths that I use over and over for a particular
client. Adobe Photoshop will no longer recognize the
files but Adobe Illustrator will open them, claiming that
they now contain RGB data. Also, the corrupt files are
no longer importable into Adobe InDesign or QuarkXpress.
I realize that I can open the files in Illustrator and
resave them as EPS files which Photoshop will recognize
but this involves additional reformatting which I don't
wish to perform for hundreds of files.
I run Windows XP and I have Norton, which is updated
daily. (I do not think the problem is viral because a
much larger number of images would have been affected.)
Also, I have a primary disk and a backup disk; the same
images on both disks were corrupted.
Help! Any ideas?
