jpg vs eps, which is better for using?
I have a confusion about the picture format.
The eps is a vector picture? The jpg can define the different size in LaTex?
The scaling of jpg is linear interpolation when the size of jpg is different with its original size?
Using which picture format is the best choice?

Hi akira32,
it may depend what type of content you mean (photo, CAD drawing, ...)
eps is postscript format, vector image, you can use it with latex but not with pdflatex. With pdflatex you can use jpg, png (both raster image format) and pdf images.
If your original image (photo) is in jpg format then you should keep it and include it as jpg, I would not convert it to eps. If you produce drawings, graphs etc. and you can generate vector graphics choose pdf or eps format.
