Hi,
Yesterday I created some illustrations for microstock and everything went well except for the fact that I carelessly used CS6 functions throughout the entire illustrations (transparency on only one slider of the gradient panel, multiple artboards etc.). Yes I should have known better, but it's been a long time since I created microstock.
So, I saved the illustrations as EPS10 (fortunately also remembered to save a CS6 compatible version of each), and when I opened the EPS10 file again, what I noticed was that the shapes which I filled with gradients where only one slider was transparent, had however not been rasterized. Instead, apparently they had been automatically converted to "opacity masks" which is a function I have never used before.
My question is now, do the agencies accept these opacity masks or do I need to manually apply new EPS10 compatible gradients to all of them / redo the illustration?
I hope someone can help me. I know I can always try by submitting, but it's such a hassle if done in vain.
Best regards
Thomas
