XV does a very good, albeit interactive, job at image conversions !
I'll second this. I did a photo-essay for a journal recently, using
LyX. The photos were jpegs (reduced for ftp purposes) from fine-scale
scans that were made from very old black & white glass plates. I used
xv to convert them to Postscript for LyX, and while the interactive
process is a bit tedious, the quality was superb. (This is on Sparc
workstations, running Solaris-2.6.)
I have gimp here, but haven't explored it for purposes like this.
