I need to view .ps files for my screen printing work flow. The option to view these files in preview is no longer available. Please advise how I can still view these files.

Try selecting one of the files and press the space bar. I downloaded three .ps files and can view them in Quick Look. Also in Skim. https://skim-app.sourceforge.io/

macOS Ventura’s Preview app no longer lets you view PostScript files though you can still print them like before without having to download any apps.

You can still save and print PostScript files though:

• What’s happening? Apple has confirmed that Preview on macOS 13 no longer supports PostScript files. macOS Monterey and earlier versions are unaffected.

• Why care? Should you ever receive a PostScript file, you’ll need to download a dedicated app which can view those types of documents.

• What to do? Find some apps on the App Store to convert any PostScript files you may have to PDF. You may also want to send Apple feedback on this.

macOS Ventura’s Preview drops PostScript file support

Following the release of the macOS Ventura software update on October 24, 2022, Apple in a new support document announced that its Preview app no longer supports vector files saved in the PostScript file format.

If your Mac runs the macOS Ventura 13.0 software or later (verify by choosing About This Mac from the Apple menu), you won’t be able to open PostScript (.ps) and Encapsulated PostScript (.eps) files in Preview. The removal is on the system level.
