Unless there are special needs due to printer +drivers which have their own (hardware-specific) way to deal with a +restricted collection of image formats, the EPS as canonical format is +optimal. + +A previewer which is clever and useful is able to show a TIFF, JPEG or +whatever bitmap file which is stored under the same name like the EPS. +Scalable previews (for vector images of course) are only possible in WMF +format, which moreover cannot be separated from the EPSF (thus becoming +a binary file). + +> Does anyone know of any packages that allow me to use raw +> JPEG/GIF/TIF files within LaTeX documents? + +Use jpeg2ps from Thomas Merz to include a JPEG unchanged (no +decompression & re-compression) into a PS level 2 EPS. +Imagemagic can deal with TIFF but this is indeed quite inefficent since +it doesn't provide the PS level 2 compressors LZW nor CCITT. + +EPS files are not per se much bigger than the most compact bitmaps but +this depends crucial on the software used.
