Image and Font File Formats
on RT Clip Art Collection CD's

We supply all our clip art in several different file formats so that you get the best results no matter what type of document/project you are working on.

All of our Clip Art Collection CD's contain ALL these file formats:

For Windows:

• EPS (Postscript) - editable vector files, layered and intelligently grouped
• WMF - editable vector files

On our CD's, BOTH a complete color "set" AND a complete black & white "set" of clip art is provided in each of these formats.

For Macintosh:

• EPS (Postscript) - editable vector files, layered and intelligently grouped
• PICT - 300 dpi high resolution, editable files

On our CD's, BOTH a complete color "set" AND a complete black & white "set" of clip art is provided in each of these formats.

For Web:

• GIF's - transparent and interlaced, universal for both Windows and Macintosh

The file format of the clip art you use is very important.

The file format of the image you use for any document or project depends upon your purpose, and the program(s) and the printer you have.

Because we provide ALL these formats, you ALWAYS have a format correct for your situation!

See our Support page for more information, and for step-by-step procedures for adding and using RT Clip Art with your particular program(s).

More About File Formats:

Windows Formats

WMF - Since the Windows MetaFile Format (WMF) was created by Microsoft, almost all Windows programs support it. The files supplied on our CD's are vector WMF files. WMF files print beautifully on virtually any printer and at any scale. WMF files can be edited (modified) directly in many text processors, and in other applications, such as MS Word, Works and WordPerfect.

 

EPS - Most popular Windows programs support the EPS file format. However, you MUST have a Postscript printer in order for them to print properly. Our EPS files supplied are vector files and are intelligently layered and grouped. They are editable in programs which generate Postscript images such as Illustrator, Freehand, or CorelDRAW! Use EPS images to import and rasterize to Photoshop.

Macintosh Formats

PICT - Most popular programs support the PICT format. The files supplied on the CD's are high resolution (300dpi) files. You will use this format if you have any kind of inkjet or non-postscript printer. Our high resolution PICT files print beautifully on all printers, even if your printer can print at more than 300 dpi.

 

EPS - Most popular Macintosh programs support the EPS file format. However, you MUST have a Postscript printer in order for them to print properly. The RT EPS files supplied are vector files and are intelligently layered and grouped. They are editable in programs which generate Postscript images such as Illustrator, and Freehand. Use EPS images when rasterizing a Collection file in Photoshop.
