For jpeg images, it is better to use jpeg2ps
(http://www.pdflib.com/jpeg2ps/index.html) as it doesn't uncompress the image.
There is similar tiff2ps on CTAN.

In 1.1.6 you have the external inset, but it just converts the image file to
eps using 'convert'. It is better do to the conversion manually.
Also, if you use pdflatex instead of latex, you can include png/jpeg images.
(you can also include png/jpeg if you use latex+dvipdfm).
