After updating Photoshop, my EPS files are automatically opened up before I can resize them. It was working fine before then. I'm on a macOS Big Sur 11.4

Other computer specs:

Processor: 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7

RAM: 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4

Graphics Card: AMD Radeon Pro 5300M 4 GB

Is this a bug in the new update or am I doing something improperly with the latest update?

Hi, I just upgraded and now I can't open .eps files that contain channels in photoshop. This is version 22.4.3

It also has an odd side effect of making my mouse pointer get stuck in the lower left hand corner of my screen, and it takes a while to get it unstuck.

Now when I downgrade to version 22.4.2 all these issues go away. The .eps file channels open up no problem, and the mouse cursor issue goes away.

Do you think this is a settings issue, or is it a major bug with version 22.4.3?

Normally when I drag any EPS file in (in this case I'm talking about my logos), it asks me what size and what DPI I want it to be, then it opens the file with no background as the file does not have one.

Now it just opens right up without asking me the size I want it to be, it also puts a white background in, plus the logos looks like crap. What happened? How do I fix this?

Does that happen to All eps file or to a certiain eps file?
Have you tried re-saving the eps files from illustrator and place it into photoshop?

If you are using the logos frequently, save them in library and you can simply drag them directly between application

Hello,

This happens with all EPS files. I have not done anything with illustrator as I have never used that program before.

Hi everyone -- got an issue when trying to open up EPS files. The "Rasterize EPS Format" pop-up window is no longer popping-up when I select an EPS file to open. EPS files are now opening up at a tiny size and super pixelated. Anyone know how to get it to appear onscreen again? Thank you!

Hi
This has been reported in several threads. See:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem/cannot-open-eps-file-in-photoshop-index-layer/m-p/12190760

Rolling back to a previous version using the CC app works for now.

Another workaround is this:

On Windows use File>Open As Generic EPS
on Mac highlight the eps file in the photoshop open dialog and select Generic EPS from the Format dropdown menu."

Please report it as a bug so Adobe will see it here: https://feedback.photoshop.com/

Hello,

I've just updated Photoshop and now when I place/open an EPS file, it has a white solid background when it was/should be transparent.

If I save the EPS as an AI and place/open it, it comes in properly with a transparent background.

Has anyone else experienced this or know what has changed?

Since the update tonight, all of my EPS files are automatically converting to index with a white background in Photoshop. I'm not happy about it either. I had ONE more file to create.

Yes, I forgot to mention that they are converting to Index as well, it's a bit frustrating. Is there a way to flag a post for Adobe staff to notice?

It's a bug.

More here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem/cannot-open-eps-file-in-photoshop/m-p/12189573

This workaround allowed me to open .eps files:

"On windows i have to use File>Open As Generic EPS and on mac highlight the eps file in the photoshop open dialog and select Generic EPS from the Format dropdown menu."

@Terry5FF7 Thank you! This method is working for me on v.22.4.3 Windows 10 Pro.

Rasterize or resize? Are you placing the EPS files or opening them in Photoshop?

I'm opening them. Before the update, I was always asked to rasterize the file. Now it's opening as channels and paths.

Could you please post one eps and screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible to illustrate what result you get?

I upgraded Photoshop on my Mac this morning to v22.4.3 and now I cannot open .eps files as vector images.

When I try to open an eps, instead of giving me the screen which allows me to define the height, width, resolution, it instead opens the file as a small "index" file.

I tried deleting my Preferences but that did not fix the problem. What am I missing here? I've never seen this before. Is it just a setting I'm not aware of?

I'm having the same problem, and I revert to 22.4.2, and it worked now. A nasty bug in version 22.4.3. 😝

Appears to be a bug. Instead of saving out my Illustrator files in EPS format, I used SVG, which worked for rasterizing into PhotoShop. (I did convert fonts to "Outlines" before saving the SVG, which I did not do with the EPS. I haven't tested if this makes any difference.

As a workaround you can open as a Generic EPS. This method is working for me on v.22.4.3 Windows 10 Pro. Let us know if it's a temporary fix for you or roll back a version if that's stable for you.
