+4 Bitmapped graphics for LaTeX and pdflatex
+*******************************************
+
+pdflatex can use graphics in .png format (best for screenshots) and .jpg
+format (best for photographs) directly. However, for LaTeX you are
+stuck with .eps format. Tips for converting to .eps:
+
+4.1 Linux
+=========
+
+_ImageMagick/convert_
+ `convert' from the ImageMagick package is a command-line utility:
+ `convert image.png image.eps'
+
+_The GIMP_
+ This is the premier open source image editing program. It is often
+ pre-installed on Linux, and is also available for other platforms.
+ The GIMP can save in eps format.
+
+4.2 Mac OS X
+============
+
+Mac OS X's built-in Preview application can read most bitmapped formats
+and save them as .pdf, which epspdf can convert to .eps.
+
+4.3 Windows
+===========
+
+Windows is not a particularly friendly environment for PostScript and
+pdf. A couple of command-line utilities try to fill the gap, _e.g._
+ sam2p image.png image.eps
+or
+ bmeps -c image.png image.eps
+sam2p is distributed with TeX Live, bmeps both with TeX Live and with
+MikTeX. Without the `-c' option, bmeps produces a grayscale image. It
+produces larger files than sam2p.
+
+4.3.1 GUI use of sam2p and bmeps
+--------------------------------
+
+Create a batchfile `bitmap2eps.bat' with contents
+sam2p "%~1" "%~dpn1.eps"
+ (TeX Live) or
+bmeps -c "%~1" "%~dpn1.eps"
+ (MikTeX) and place it _e.g._ on your desktop. Now if you drop a
+bitmapped graphic on this batchfile then you will get an eps file with
+the same name as the original, but with extension `.eps'.
+
+You can also right-click on a bitmap, choose _Open With..._ and browse
+to this file bitmap2eps.bat, resulting in conversion to .eps. The next
+time you do this with a file of the same type, bitmap2eps.bat will
+already be in the list of possible programs for opening the file.
