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?

just add an e!?

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

???

Tell your computer to quit playin jokes and takin out the E, or youll spank it.

try to open it in adobe photoshop or in adobe illustrator. :thumbsup

is it coming from a mac, and you opening on a pc? i have noticed mac does that sometimes

No problem, might have to do with your os settings.. same file, different extension.. all good

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?
