jpg, tiff (nominally) and png will go direct into pdftex (using the
plain version of the latex graphics package)

otherwise, use convert (from the imagemagick package) to make .eps
(level 2) of the thing.  if you're using dvips as output, the chances
are that you can't do any better.

there's some witter about all this at

[TeX-music] off-topic: help for a piano maker

2002-09-11 Thread Bernhard Lang

Hello All

I received the following email about a piano maker in Meissen who lost his
whole workshop and stock of instruments in the recent flood in eastern
Germany. It's somewhat off-topic to our list. But anyhow I think I should
forward it. The attached document is only written in german, but the
second part of the email text below contains an english version.

regards
  Bernhard

 Hilfe für einen Meißner Klavierbauer

 Liebe Freunde, Musikliebhaber und Kollegen!
 Die Bilder der Hochwasserflut sind uns noch deutlich vor Augen. Das Schicksal
  eines Freundes hat uns besonders betroffen gemacht:
 Der Meißner Klavierbaumeister Wolfgang Trobisch verlor innerhalb weniger
  Stunden durch die Hochwasserflut von Triebisch und Elbe seine gesamte
  berufliche Existenzgrundlage: Werkstatt, Verkaufsladen, Lager, Instrumente.
  Der Schaden beträgt schätzungsweise 350.000,- Euro. Die Versicherung kommt
  in diesem Stadtteil nicht dafür auf. Zum Glück geht es der Familie gut und
  das Wohnhaus überstand die Katastrophe unbeschadet. Wolfgang Trobisch und
  seine Kollegen sehen ihre Arbeit von zehn Jahren zunichte gemacht, wollen
  aber nicht aufgeben.
 Auf der Suche nach Hilfe kam uns folgende Idee: Wenn jeder, der einen Flügel,
  ein Klavier oder Cembalo besitzt, einen Betrag von 10,- Euro für Wolfgang
  Trobisch überweist und außerdem diesen Brief an seine musikliebenden Freunde
  weitergibt, ...
 ... kommt auf alle Fälle mehr finanzielle Unterstützung zusammen,
 als wir allein zu geben vermögen,
 ... könnte sogar ein hoher Prozentsatz der Schadenssumme für einen
 Neuanfang zur Verfügung stehen und
 ... haben vielleicht noch Andere etwas von unserer Aktion: Falls mehr
 Geld auf dem Konto eingeht, als die Klavierbaufirma verloren hat, werden die
  Spenden an das Theater der Stadt Meißen weitergeleitet, das ebenfalls durch
  die Flut stark zerstört wurde.
 Als Anlage senden wir einen Bericht von Wolfgang Trobisch über die Zerstörung
  seiner Werkstatt mit. Wenn Interesse an Fotos oder einer Druckvorlage für
  Handzettel besteht, senden wir diese ebenfalls gern per eMail zu.

  Help us to help a piano-maker in Meißen

 Dear friends, music lovers and colleagues,
 The pictures in the media of the recent floods in Saxony still haunt our
  memories. We have been particularly distressed by what has happened to one
  of our friends:
 The master piano-maker Wolfgang Trobisch lost his entire professional
  livelihood in the space of a few hours when the Triebisch and the Elbe
  flooded his workshop, shop and stock rooms and ruined all his instruments.
  The total damage has been assessed at 350.000 Euro. No insurance company is
  prepared to make compensation payments in this part of Meißen. Fortunately
  the Trobisch family are safe and well and the family home survived the
  catastrophe unscathed. Wolfgang Trobisch and his colleagues do not want to
  abandon their workshop, although they have lost everything they have worked
  for over the past 10 years.
 We would like to find a way to help Mr. Trobisch and came up with the
  following idea: If everybody who owned a piano or harpsichord made over 10
  Euro for Mr. Trobisch and forwarded this letter to his musical friends -
  then ...
 ... in any case Mr. Trobisch would receive more financial support than
 we would be able to give him on our own,
 ... it might be possible to raise enough in donations to cover a large
 percentage of the damages, which would help him to make a fresh start,
 ... perhaps other flood victims might even be able to benefit from our
 donations: if Mr. Trobisch were to receive more money than his firm had lost,
  the surplus would be used to help restore the theatre of Meißen, which have
  been badly damaged.
 We are enclosing Mr. Trobisch's report about the flooding of his workshop.
  We have also some fotos and

 quick and easy way to convert a BMP, JPG, GIF (or whatever) image to
 EPS format?

Use ImageMagick's convert.   See http://www.imagemagick.org/

Hello

  The Gimp can do that (i've just tried and it works fine). It supports 
lots of format file. I think that XV can also export in postscript. I 
don't know if there is an image loader in (La)TeX.

 TeX-related if not directly concerned with music: Can anyone suggest a

 without first converting to EPS?
 
 Thanks in advance

 If you're using Windows, download Paintshop Pro.
 If you're using Unix, install either the netpbm
 or imagemagick package.

Note that ImageMagick also works perfectly on Windows.

Using the netpbm package, you will need the commands giftopnm (or whatever) and 
pnmtops.

 xv, whenever i've used it for format conversion, has produced output
 that's at screen resolution

That 's its default behaviour.  In the save box, you can select the box
saying original size; if you do so, the simage is saved at its original
size and not at the currently visible shrinked or enlarged size.
