Graphs as eps or tiff
PC platform
I work for a group of biomedical researchers who keep data in Excel. When they are ready to publish, they usually create graphs in Excel and copy/paste to PowerPoint. This is fine for initial review but publishers are now requesting the color figures (graphs, etc.) to be in eps or tiff format and CMYK instead of RGB. We lose data from those figures when we "save as" an eps or tiff. Also the file becomes huge and the colors are still RGB. Very frustrating. I took an Adobe Illustrator class to see if that would help, but the instructor did not know how to do that and referred me to possible online tutorials. Before I spend hours looking for an online tutorial this specific, I thought I would check here to see if someone can help at the Excel level. |

Graphs as eps or tiff
Excel is not an image editing application, nor is PowerPoint for that matter,
which is what you are trying to do. You may be better off just getting it to look the way you want, print it, scan it, then pull it into photoshop to convert to cmyk and save as eps, tiff.
