I apologize for not being very knowledgeable about all this... :oops:

I only just realized that dvipdfm converts eps figures to pdf via Ghostview, and now using ps2pdf the figure resolution in my final pdf has actually increased.

So now I am thinking I will definitely go with the ps2pdf, since ...

I am sorry, you are right of course, the figures I am actually most concerned about are raster graphics (generated with Matlab pcolor...).

Hello all,

I am new to this forums and not all that knowledgeable with Latex in general.
