Many thanks for your reply, Brad. Seems like the artwork was created using a template that was even older than I thought (2004) and you are correct, it was Illustrator 8.0.1 (screenshot attached) so that explains why it opened in a flattened form. Thanks for the offer to look at the file but I've now redrawn it as it's needed urgently, and have saved it as .ai format.And I will ditch the ancient EPS template file! Thanks for your help!

Thanks Monika, I have been a freelance illustrator and using Adobe since 1996 and the publishing clients I worked for requested EPS until very recently, and some indeed still do.

Hi Monika, thanks for replying. I don't remember what type of EPS it was saved as, as it was created back in 2012. EPS was the standard for artwork being sent to print in those days. I do use .ai now!

Hi, I opened an Illustrator EPS file I created dating from 2012 which contained artworks with gradient mesh, Gaussian blur along with ordinary lines with no effects. The lines became outlined and all the artworks 'broke up' with multiple squares and rasterisation of the mesh and effects = disaster. (screenshot attached of part of the file) Is there any way I can avoid this happening and recover the fully editable artworks? I am on Illustrator 29.3, Mac Studio M1 Max running Ventura 13.6.3. Thanks for any help!

Very happy to see this has been fixed, it's so much more useable with a plain grey background now. Thank you CCLibraries Team!

I have recently noticed that the thumbnails in my Library palette have a transparency grid behind them, which makes some of the images very hard to see. I'm sure it used to have a white background. Is there any way to change this back to white please? I'm on Illustrator 2020 version 24.1.3. Thanks for any advice!

Another solution is to make a new brush for use with the eraser tool, go to Brush settings, and uncheck the 'Transfer' box. For examples, I have a brush with Roundness 100%, Hardness 100%, Spacing 1%, and the only box ticked under Brush Shape is the Smoothing box. That did the trick for me without having to alter my Wacom settings. (Photoshop CC 2018)
