Re: [Finale] compile postscript listing with image
I have been totally p'd off for a number of years, I think since Finale moved to Mac OSX. I used to get beautiful eps rendition when I exported files into PageMaker, since then it's been barely legible, transparency is lost, and it's been a disaster, JR On 12/29/09 9:38 PM, "Christopher Smith" wrote: > Unfortunately, Finale shows onscreen a poor quality preview of the > EPS.

Re: [Finale] compile postscript listing with image
Unfortunately, Finale shows onscreen a poor quality preview of the EPS. But it should print at full resolution. When it was first changed from the previous high-quality preview (I think I remember that happening in 2003!) I complained, and was told it was because of the way Apple handled it. I sometimes can't even see what the EPS is onscreen! Christopher On Tue Dec 29, at TuesdayDec 29 5:57 PM, Minke Hylarides wrote: Yes, EPS! I didn't try that, because it doesn't look well in Finale.

RE: [Finale] compile postscript listing with image
Yes, EPS! I didn't try that, because it doesn't look well in Finale. But you're right, it looks fine in the PDF after Compile PS Listing. How do I get the EPS to look right in the Finale-file itself? But on the other hand, while trying this Compile-method, I come across some other things: like fonts that won't come through right, even though I tell Finale to include them (but when I turn that thingie(?) off, the text blocks look better, strangely enough). And another thing: the EPS-images appear too high on the page... I reckon this is the usual fiddling around to get things working with Finale - or with computers on the whole, but for the time being I think I'll just stick to the print as PDF method. Maybe I sort it all out one day. (Today it just doesn't seem the right moment: too many distractions, up to a roof that started leaking a few minutes ago!)
