Different sites have different requirements of their supported file versions. Some sites only accept .eps8, while some sites accept eps10 or higher. A lower version means the lesser effects i can play with.

Wondering how do you guys manage your files? Do you save every single piece of your artwork into consistent version for easier upload to different sites? Or do you save them depending on what effects you've used? Wouldn't it be confusing if i have different file versions in my portfolio, and i have to take note myself which site accept this and which site doesn't?

I hope it's not a silly question. At first i was thinking to save all my artwork in .eps8, as most site accept it and it would save my hassle, but then i realised i've been limited of not being able to play with transparency effects and all. So i am wondering how do you guys manage it or am i missing any proper way of doing it..

Not a silly question at all.  I keep my stuff in different folders and have to keep a mental track of what is eps8 and what's eps10.  I don't submit to any sites that don't allow eps10 so I don't have to worry about it too much.  I have my small jpgs (preview image for SS), eps folder, large jpgs (for nearly all sites), zip folder,  and a Veer folder since they want their jpgs larger than anyone else.

I'd consider making a doc file of the sites you submit to along with their submission criteria and look at it everytime you make your files so you'll be able to have that memorized and it'll become second nature to you so you won't have to think about it and that you'll just automatically do it.

I keep my large jpg files under 25 mp veer is a different story nothing under 5100 pixels hence the separate folder for them.

Keeping track is a pain but you'll get used to it.
