jpg for a picture, png for "bitmap-vector-graphics". Both allow trade-off between resolution and size, see ImageMagick manual. bitmap-vector-graphics resize badly, try to get them at final size with convert, display or mogrify. picture resizing is less sensitive. E.g. for screen capture (which is bitmap-vector-graphics if you catch a window): xwd > foo.xwd (screen capture) convert -colorspace GRAY -antialias -geometry 60% foo.xwd foo.png (self explicative) convert foo.png foo.eps (get the eps for latex compilation) If you use tex2pdf, it will avoid converting foo.eps back to foo.pdf and use the original foo.png -- Jean-Pierre
