How to open existing EPS file.

kristin

I can't see any objects but panel is pretty small; I expanded all and used CTRL-Y. I see nothing on the screen. However, the file has the correct name so it must be open??? I had also tried the File: Open route with the same result.

@kristin If you can, post the EPS here so we can test importing it.
If not, send it to the developer at csraba @ vectrostyler.com for testing.

Ok. In the meantime, I opened a couple of other unrelated eps files with no issue. The file I can't see has vectors on a black background. could that be a problem?

I guess the file is too big to upload here. I will send to the link in your reply.

@kristin The developer will test it and improve the EPS importer.

@b77 Thank you for your time!

@kristin Welcome to Vectorstyler. I use wetransfer.com to upload larger files to the forum or in an email to the developer. You have to sign up for a free account to use it. It spares your inbox the large file attachments and you can email it or copy a custom link to paste in an email or on the forum.

@kristin Got the file, it seems to contain an image only when opened in VectorStyler (same if opened with Affinity Designer).
I attached the resulting screenshot to the email answer.

I will investigate more, what else this file contains that is not imported by VS.

@Boldline

I have used wetransfer, however, I didn't think of it so, thank you!

I'm new and trying VectorStyler as a replacement for AI. I am not a "power user"..lol. I basically used AI in conjunction with Photoshop. I looked around and came up with this program that looks like it will fit my needs.
I am on a Windows 11 PC. I tried dragging an existing EPS file into the main window; it seems as if a layer appeared but there's nothing on the screen other than a white canvas?
Is there a you tube video that would explain some basics so I could get started opening a few files?
Thank you!

There are a few YouTube videos that can explain the basics of VectorStyler. Here are a few suggestions:
