[OS X TeX] OT: presentations for math

[Luis Sequeira]

What about using GraphicConverter to do a batch conversion (it should 
at least work if these are .eps, which would make more sense than 
.ps). GraphicConverter's "Convert..." command can do any number of 
files at once, select the quality of the jpeg output, adjust 
contrast, and a lot more.

>Most of you know how much this list has has helped, as I support the 
>Mac OS X users here at our Math Dept.  They use these wonderful teX 
>packages sand programs that I install (thanks Gerben, Richard, Fink, 
>Gnu and Open Source).
>
>I have professor who doesn't know teX (I have showed how much more 
>beautiful things could look), alas....
>
>He has several grad students, one of whom makes plots and adds 
>captioning on the left, vertically, and at the bottom.  he saves 
>this as a .ps file.
>
>Here's the rub and here is where I ask for ideas, solutions, 
>alternatives, as I am not a graphics expert either, oh dear!
>Hold on to your stomach!
>He, the professor, wants to bring the .ps files into PowerPoint. 
>So, I use PhotoShop to run up the quality of the jpeg conversion and 
>it looks "OK" when displayed on screen, I guess, rather he thinks so.
>However, he has, it seems, now learned to use PowerPoint's built in 
>capabilities and if you ask me those slides (text and titles, scans) 
>just don't help make his imported graphic files look really good.
>
>Besides the idea I JUST had (maybe to *scan* in his .ps files!... 
>hmm... still makes it a jpeg, but maybe I can produce a better and 
>bigger one) anyone have any ideas?
>
>We tried converting ps/pdf but it seems PowerPoint doesn't much ps or pdf.
>
>I simply thought, though that I *must* be missing some GOOD idea or solution.
>
>Thank you,
