Re: Problem with .eps and .jpg in latex

Hi there. I'm trying to write a paper in Latex, using WinEdt (on a
windows 2000 machine). I need to include both .eps and .jpg files in
this paper (the .eps are files are ones I've made, the .jpg is stuff
I've copied from referenced papers). Can anyone help me out and
suggest some software (or maybe WinEdt can do it) that will allow me
to make my .jpg files become .eps? Already tried opening the .jpg in
photoshoppe and then saving as .eps, but that didn't work. Maybe there
is an easier/better way to do this? Any advice would be appreciated.

You might give ImageMagick a try -- there's a Windows binary available from the web site (imagemagick into Google will get you there). It runs from the command line, though I think graphical front-ends are available for it if you so desire.

Anyway, with a default ImageMagick installation you can convert a .jpg to .eps by opening a command prompt and typing:

convert file.jpg file.eps

The only downside is that I do find, on occasion, that .jpg images converted in this manner produce rather bloated .eps files. You may be able to control this using certain ImageMagick options, but you'd have to check the docs -- I haven't looked into myself.

Hope that helps.
