I'm using Photoshop CS3 on a 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Mac running 10.5.5. I have 4 GB of RAM installed and over 400 GB of space available on the HD.
Photoshop frequently crashes when trying to place Quark eps files into a new document. It particularly seems to happen with larger files.
Could this simply be a memory problem, or is anyone aware of anything I could do to cure it?
Many thanks for any help.
It could be a problem with the actual construction of the XPress EPS -- in my experience, there is often a lot of extraneous or improperly created data in these particular files. What happens if you place a .pdf instead?

Neil - Placing pdfs seems to be fine. I'm usually only using these as positionals anyway, so I could just start working with pdfs instead of Quark eps files. It just always irritates me when something doesn't work and I can't explain it!
Buko - You can't open a Quark eps directly - you'd have to place it or import it into another document, so I'm not quite sure what you mean?
Thanks again.

You can't open a Quark eps directly
have you tried?
have you tried distilling the EPS and opening that?

He meant dragging the Quark EPS onto the Photoshop icon.
This is a great opportunity. Take Chris up on his offer and then let us know the outcome.

Then it's incomprehensible why are you still using QXP. :/
