Re: Windows %&$#@*+$ colour management (I'll never learn)

Obviously, if your artwork is strictly monochrome (i.e., not color
and not grayscale) artwork, then 1-bit TIFF previews are certainly
much more efficient and will not lose anything in terms of display.
I don't know of any software that accepts 8-bit TIFF previews that
won't also take 1-bit TIFF previews. I neglected to mention the
1-bit preview possibility simply because the vast majority of the
artwork generated in EPS format is either color or grayscale!
Thanks for mentioning the additional compatible possibility!
