determine.
Is there an easy way to get jpeg photos into a groff document that
I have overlooked? It appears to me that this is a problem I'm going
to be encountering in the future as well as now, and it would be
nice to have a practical, efficient, and inexpensive solution.
If you have access to a Mac, Graphic Converter (included in the system)
is
a good solution to convert jpeg to eps as an ascii-hex image file.
You can also down-sample photographs to a resolution
more appropriate for a smaller pic in your groff and you can control
the compression/quality as well (further reduction in file sizes).
If I remember well, I did jpeg to ascii85 conversions a few years ago
with
AFPL GhostScript 8.0 that (or a newer version) could be available on a
PC
platform too.
