![]() They faucets and the Fleur de Lis looking thing were a perfect match to how they open in Freehand 11. Some of the acid test images seen above, such as the '20s flapper girl and the Mideast princess didn't open well, although it did a pretty darn good job on the night beach scene. The basic answer to that is, "How complex are your Freehand files?". Since I had that on hand, I installed it to test. The answer is, CS5 was the last version of Illustrator that would open Freehand files. ![]() I knew Illustrator used to open Freehand files itself, so had to find out when that was taken out. In truth, you couldn't possibly edit them in any meaningful way. So in a technical sense, they're editable. They become incredibly complex and large files. Someone at Macromedia apparently decided that if you're saving as an EPS, well, then you must be going to press with it.Ģ) It saves the converted EPS file as thousands, or millions of overlapping triangles. This does work, but they have two major problems when opening the files in Illustrator:ġ) If the images were built as RGB, they do stay in that color mode, but all color gets reduced to the nearest CMYK equivalent. This time I exported all of the sample Freehand images I was using for testing to Editable EPS. I did more testing today to see what else may help.
