What file do I choose to download ?

Not sure which file to select for download ?  Here is some basic guidance. However you may wish to refer to the filetypes option on the left hand menu for more details.

If you are going to use the image in an office type application (such as Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint) and do not require magazine print quality - then you should download a low resolution (low res 72dpi) image such as a BMP or PICT file. These are raster (like a photo) images that cannot be edited and are relatively small in file size for quicker downloading due to their low resolution.

If you are going to use the image in an office type application (such as Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint) but want a high resolution image for reproduction, you should download a high resolution (300dpi)Tiff  for a photographic image or a Vector EPS file (i.e. usually line art logos) if available. Office applications will generally convert these (when they are inserted) to office compatible file types. Please note however that the 300dpi photographic images will be of a larger file size and therefore slower to download.

If you are using a graphics application then you can select most files depending on your application and requirements. (e.g pick an illustrator eps or Photoshop eps for Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop). e-see has files available that will be compatible with most graphics applications so that you can open or import and work on the original file. Check what  file format your application supports. If you can't get a file that is compatible - please call us.

If you want a file for signage - you will most likely need a vector file that can be scaled up or down. You will need a graphics drawing application to work with these files (e.g. Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, Macromedia Freehand, etc)
