@ Alexmart:
GIMP does the job if you want your 2MB jpeg to become a 40 MB eps file. For instance, unlike GIMP jpeg2eps actually wraps the jpeg in Level 2 postscript instead of encoding the jpeg as text.

very useful thanks.

Hey Phil, you can run GIMP on windows too — not that you’d want to…

Dora’s link may be easy, but it only converts to png, jpg and gif! The sam2ps in this article has a README that says its standalone, but then fails if you don’t have png22pbm (should this be png2pbm?). Not very excellent in my book. Guess I’ll boot Linux and run GIMP.

Great info thanks. Here is easiest way to convert images: Image Converters

the third method listed within this website: http://www.cs.bu.edu/~reyzin/pictips.html
is very useful and it does not require any tool to be installed (you usually should have gsview if you don’t have adobe reader, otherwise there’s the second method)

;)

Gimp does the job if you habe lot of time. But what if you want to convert 100’s of images.

Gimp does the job.

Good point. Only thing is that Gimp takes it’s sweet time to load, and then you need to make 3-4 mouse clicks to complete the whole thing.

With the command line apps you can accomplish the same thing in seconds :)

i always use GIMP to convert my images from tif’s (or whatever format) to eps files.

its free, and easy!
