Hi folks:
Today I spent some time testing to find out when the errors / corruption of the afpub-files happen. I used a simple template I made for my photo collages, a one page document of 50 x 70 cms, with very few layers and I placed 2 images in it.
Tests with:
JPG images, in RGB 8-Bit document
TIF images 8-bit, in RGB 8-Bit document
TIF images 16-bit, in RGB 16-Bit document
PSD images 8-bit, in RGB 8-Bit document
PSD images 16-bit, in RGB 8-Bit document
Result:
No problems with the JPG and TIF images.
Huge problems with PSD images both 8 and 16-Bit. After placing the images, saving the file it was enough to just klick the "Toggle Preview Mode" button to screw up the afpub-files! Of course an export to PDF ended with an error message (see posting above).
So, to use JPG and TIF seems to be safe, but the problem with PSD and EPS (did not try that) really needs to be fixed as soon as possible.
I add a ZIP file with all 5 test projects.
Cheers,
Frank
