I am afraid you are missing the point. The EPS files Finale used to produce were in vector format, which has a lot of advantages over bitmap formats like TIFF. No way can Graphic converter convert Bitmap TIFFs into proper vector EPS, so this is completely useless. I think this discussion has reache

In Finale you are supposed to be able to select just a portion of a page and save that as a graphic, EPS or TIFF. Some people only can work with EPS, I guess, so my question to you would be: In Graphic Converter can you select just a portion of the PS file and save THAT as an EPS? I would ima

First of all I am not convinced that those EPS files work properly. PS files produced this way certainly don't. But apart from this I really need to be able to easily save parts of pages as EPS. The emphasis is on easily. Such work arounds are far too much work for a work flow that worked fine in 2

I can understand why people are upset that the ability to make eps files from within Finale Mac 2004(b) is a missing feature. I don't understand why people feel they have no options. Here is something that I wrote to the list a few weeks ago and it still applies with the 2004b update: *
