I think I've seen this before.. the problem is usually when the native
format in which the image was created was not eps for a PS or jpg for a
PDFlatex conversion. If it was a native eps, the PS file should show the
graphic w/o any "blockiness"... if it's a native jpg, the pdflatex version
should show it properly.. I think the automatic conversion from jpg to eps
may be a reason for the poorer quality. So nowadays, I convert the jpg to
eps manually (A. Illustrator does a great job of this btw as I recently
found out.. it's not free unfortunately) and include it in the document.

It's definitely possible to get the images to look as they should.. might
need to play around a little in the beginning and figure out a mechanism
that works for different image formats..
