It'll still be rasterized. Another way of doing it with a GUI would be to use Inkscape; I'm pretty sure it can import most formats, and it definitely can export to .eps — it does have some ways of trying to trace paths in a vector image to recreate the vectors, but it's far from failsafe. Just be sure to "embed" rather than "link" when you import. |

If you just want the jpeg image contained in the .eps file (and not vectorized), try this code http://code.google.com/p/sam2p/ It's C++ source, and takes several image formats and puts them inside a compliant .eps file as an embedded image. |
