    Graphics people, WTF is going on here?

    I've noticed something strange lately to do with .eps and .ps

    I have a designer who creates graphics for me, I always get the finished graphics in .jpg, .tiff, and .eps

    but when I download and save the .eps file, it saves on my computer as a .ps file (not .eps). What's up with that?
    I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
    I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

      Yeah, I can do that, but I'm wondering why it happens.

                Isn't there a difference between .ps and .eps though?

                  It's all postscript language which is cross platform, if there is a difference it shouldn't affect the output of your file. It's much like JPG vs. JPEG what's the diff?

                    Here's some information for you http://www-cdf.fnal.gov/offline/PostScript/AdobePS.html
                    Apparently there is some difference but I don't think it's anything you need to worry about. Have you asked your designer about it?
