In the eyes of Distiller all images on a page are equal - whether they
have been born as a TIFF file, brought up as JPEG or gone to school as
EPS. If they made it into the PostScript that gets distilled they are all
treated equally: same downsampling approach. Same compression approach.
Same color tagging/conversion approach (if you happen to use that in
Distiller's Color tab when editing PDF settings).

In a way in a Postscript file an image is just a loooong sequence of
bytes with a few instructions beforehand (what color space? bitmap or
continuous tone? how many pixels wide and high? actual dimensions on
final page?) how to arrange them for display or print output. Doesn't
matter what image file format that sequence originated from.
