It&#8217;s the best tool for working with vector-based files.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Does Photoshop support EPS layers?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>I agree with Billy.. if the EPS files are vector EPS files, Photoshop simply will never see any layers. Photoshop sees vector images as one layer, one file, one smart object. You can use a vector app &#8212; Illustrator, Inkscape &#8212; to possibly se the layers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Do EPS files have layers?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Most EPS files will just have one layer, but you can separate whatever you like on different selected layers later on.

Inkscape is a free vector graphics editor. You can use Inkscape to open and edit AI files. However, Inkscape does not have the ability to save or export files in AI format. So you will need to save the file in an alternate format, such as SVG, or EPS.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I convert Illustrator CC to CS6?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Option #01 You&#8217;ll need Acrobat Pro.
