Clipping an EPS for Illustrator....HELP!

[D-Frag]

So yeah, the marketing director, aka: wannabe designer. here decided to do an entire box truck wrap in illustrator. not my program of choice considering I now have roughly 2500 layers. If I had done this in PS it would have been a billion times easier...but hey, you work with what you got, and people who think they know what to do.

so here is my problem. I have an image of a women, I have applied a path in photoshop and saved as a .eps with DCS, halftone screen, and 8 bit tiff.

When importing the image into Illustrator CS 2 im getting the following message, with no clipped image.

"Support for high resolution DCS content is limited to Non-Transparent host-based seperation workflows."

WTF does that mean, and how do I go about getting this women clipped right, and into illustrator. any help, mucho appreciated!

Just save it as an eps. No DCS.

Another work around is to simply COPY the path while in Photoshop and then make Illustrator active and PASTE the path. Now import the women as an EPS without the path and realign the path in Illustrator.

OR

If you really want to work in Photoshop, why not export the Illustrator file to Photoshop? When doing this remember that any layers BELOW a stylized effect or transparency effect will be flattened, while all layers above can be preserved with the "paste remembers layers" option selected.

Good luck
