Image Viewer for EPS and CMYK TIFF files

[urstwile]

Hey everyone,

I figured if anyone could answer this question for me, it would be someone here.

At work, our creative department works on Mac, with the Creative Suite, etc. All the bells and whistles (except for our hardware, but that's a different story :rolleyes: ).

Frequently, the account service side of our agency requests us to send them files as attachments to forward along to other people. They're on PC's. The problem is they don't have any software on their computers that can view that we've sent them the correct thing.

Anyone know of any (preferably free, but cheap is also an option) image viewers that will allow them to view EPS files, just to confirm that the file we've sent them is the file that they need? Ideally, it would be able to view EPS files and TIFFs in either color space, similarly to the way Preview does it on the Mac.

Thanks for any suggestions! :)

Thanks for the link, hewligan.

Some additional help...these account people are not super computer savvy, and I have pretty much no way to test this on my own. Is there a link on the page that you forwarded that you'd recommend? Just go with the most recent build?

First, you need to install Ghostscript itself - this is an open source postscript interpreter:

ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/AFPL/gs853/gs853w32.exe (Direct link to installer)

Then you install the Windows version of Ghostview, which is a front end for Ghostscript:

Thanks for the advice, I'll let you know if it works out. :)
