Usage of File Types & Descriptions
The following file types are available for multiple operating systems. Please keep in mind that files for WEB use must be RGB color mode and files for PRINT use must be CMYK color mode. The following downloads included both formats. JPEG's are RGB format and TIFF/EPS files are CMYK. EPS files can be rescaled up or down, while JPEG and TIFF files can ony be scaled down. Please do not stretch any art, logos or images. All rescaling must retain the integrity of the original proportions.

The EPS file format is the sharpest file format available and is stays sharp when resized. EPS requires software such as Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia's Freehand. If you have EPS based software and plan to resize or edit the image, EPS is the recommended method of download.

Note regarding .eps files in Internet Explorer for PCs:
When attempting to download .eps files, Internet Explorer will automatically change the ".eps" file extension to ".ps". To ensure the integrity of the file, please change the file extension back to ".eps" when downloading. Be certain to open the file using an image-editing program. Simply double-clicking the saved item in your hard drive will not create a proper file association, and the file will not open.

The JPEG file format is used extensively for World Wide Web graphics, particularly photographs. The JPG file format is a "lossy" format. That means each time the JPG image is opened, manipulated in any way and then resaved, the image's quality will degrade.

The TIF file format was created for photographs, but unlike JPG does not lose information or introduce noise when resaving the image. The TIF file format works well with page layout software such as Quark XPress, Adobe In-Desin, Adobe Pagemaker, and Corel Draw.
