Need help with a Photoshop EPS file.

I'm feeling pretty retarded right about now. I have a Photoshop EPS file of my logo and I want to resize it, saving it as an EPS with a different filename, preserving the transparency. For the life of me I can't figure out how to keep the transparency. Everytime I save, it gets flattened.

Can anyone help me out??

To my knowledge, EPSs don't have transparency capability.
Where are you trying to use it - web site, InDesign, ??
For websites, I guess GIFs are the way to go.
For publishing, you'll need to use a PSD, or include a clipping path in your file.

My EPS files are transparent, so they do indeed have a transparency capability. I want to simply resize it so I have a smaller version for use as a watermark, since I can't get it to be consistently resized in the action process. It would eliminate a lot of frustration to just have a smaller file. But I need transparency. A GIF won't work. I don't want the matte and I don't want the rough edges.

I did try to use a PSD but I couldn't get it to work properly either. I couldn't browse to it with the Place function since it didn't support a certain format (I forget what the specifics on that were though).

Well, I'd just save as PSD. I think EPSs are used less and less these days.

I edited my last post. A PSD wouldn't work. I just need to resize the EPS. Plain and (not so) simple.

Thanks for your input.

Are you sure the origial file is a Photoshop EPS and not an illustrator EPS. Unless you use a clipping path i don't think you can have a transparent background with a photoshop EPS.

If its illustrator this wouldnt be the case

It's Illustrator EPS. Unfortunately I don't have Illustrator and I didn't know there was a difference, but I do know the GD I commissioned used Illustrator to create it.

Unfortunately there's no easy way to do it. i'm pretty sure the only option is to create your own clipping mask.

I have no idea what a clipping mask is but I was able to get ahold of my GD and she emailed me a resized file to use. Thanks anyway Matt.
