thanks for that nasa scifiles link. nifty.
i already checked out the file extension sites i have. they all say the same thing but give no info on how to convert it.
regular .sct files open in photoshop, but not the .sci.
what the hell. it just isnt my lucky day.
- jox0
have you tried re-naming it to sct?
- mayo0
yeah, maybe it was a typo ?
- Bio0
nah. tried that already too.
no luck.

a .SCI is a scitex file. It's from a scitex retouching station. There were a number of modles, prismax, assembler, etc. Photoshop should support the scitex format.
Scitex mad a very popular photoretouching system that high end printers used all throught he 80's and early 90's.
They looked cool and were very fast, but it was like using a MainFraim to do what photoshop can do NOW on a 2k G4.
Scitex RIP

yea. that is about what i found out already.
and photoshop IS compatible with the .sct extension, but not this extension (.sci)
herein lies the problem.
i cant open it with anything, so i just sent it back with a message that reads "please send me a file that is in an acceptable format - eps, pdf, etc. . .
