Program to convert to .eps?

Hi,

Am considering a final report for uni in LaTeX (done a little bit before) and one of my worries is inserting images into my report.

I'm after a program that will convert .jpg, .gif, .bmp etc to .eps and preferably for free

Any recommendations?

Cheers,

aaazza

GiMP or Inkscape

Should also add that there's free shell tools to do this also, although I prefer the graphical way above

An eps will just contain the jpg/gif/bmp, no real way of converting a jpg/gif/bmp to .eps

Wierd way of doing things.

You could try vectormagic -

You could always load it up in photoshop and save as eps

Or use the graphicx library and insert .gif/jpeg/png/... into your report. I used this for my dissertation adn it worked pretty well.

Imagemagick will convert though with 'convert filename.jpg filename.eps' from a command line.
