Note:
Please note the following:
- Support for EPS files applies to raster images only. For example, thumbnail generation for EPS vector images is not supported by default. For information about integrating third-party tools to enable additional capabilities, see Command Line Base Media Handler.
- * The merged image is extracted out of the PSD. This is an image generated by Photoshop and included in the PSD. Depending on the settings in Photoshop this merged image may or may not be the actual image.
- To use Dynamic Media to preview and generate dynamic renditions for EPS files, see Adobe Illustrator (AI), Postscript (EPS), and PDF file formats.
The Adobe Camera Raw library enables AEM Assets to ingest raw images. For details, see Camera Raw Support.
