Color change in eps preview

Hi, I have uploaded some items EPS files in Adobe Stock and I am seeing a huge color difference in shades.

These usually happens in blue and purple shades.

Previously we use to upload eps and jpg both, in which jpgs were used to create preview but with recent change I believe Adobe Stock takes EPS file as a preview and generates its own image out of it.

 

I have even tried contacting Adobe Stock support but have not got any solution.

What is right way to export so that colors are preserved in EPS preview.

Ok, I got your point that script is doing no change and the possiblility to change EPS save options is not available.

 

I request you, if you can modify the script and when batch is being started we get the possibility to choose Save As option where I can manually change the preferences and save it.

But this should only happen one time. Like if I have around 100 files then the script should not ask the Save As option 100 times.

 

I thankyou for your time in debugging this and I appritiate your efforts in this.


Scripts cannot reproduce everything Illustrator can do. In your hope, there is no possibility to specify the transparency flattener options in detail.

 

Other than that, the EPS save options are only available for items that the user might need to change. Since the new version is an Electron application, the settings are controlled on the GUI.

You are welcome to visit the online store where you purchased it and download it at no additional charge.

If you would like to test this, save the colour profile as a RGB file and see how it works.

Already tested. I just want to mention that I use a tool to upscale the vector to 4MP

Can this be culprit?

The minimumArea script creates a new file into which it copies objects from the source file. Illustrator may apply a different color profile to the file by default when the script create a new file, so you may find a color mismatch when you upload it to the repository. This requires research.

Thumbnail previews in Adobe Stock are compressed RGB versions of the originals. 

 

Speaking as a customer, EPS is a zombie file type I don't use anymore. Among other limitations, EPS is not color managed.  I prefer vector graphics files in Illustrator AI or SVG format.

Save your own preview as JPEG and upload both together in a zip file. Adobe stock will take your JPEG instrad of generating its own.
