I'm still using TeXShop 2.03; its epstopdfwrap has

----------
#!/bin/tcsh

# A wrapper to call epstopdf in the correct folder.
# By Richard Koch, Oct 4, 2001, following similar code by
# Gerben Wierda

if ("$argv[1]" == "Panther") then
     set filename = "$argv[4]"
     /usr/bin/pstopdf "${filename}"

else

set mygspath = "$argv[2]"
if (-x ${mygspath}/gs) then
	setenv PATH "${mygspath}:${PATH}"
	rehash
endif

set filename = "$argv[4]"
set epstopdfname = "$argv[3]"
set outputname = "${filename:r}.pdf"
"${epstopdfname}" -o="${outputname}" "${filename}"

endif
-------------

Now ---if I drag an .eps file with Ghostscript selected as the  
Distiller in TeXShop preferences, the .pdf file is 1 MB; if I select  
Apple Distiller as the Distiller, the file is 4.5 MB.

With previous version of GW's epstopdf, my Photoshop .eps files came  
out wrong when typesetting the .tex document, but came out OK if I  
dragged the .eps files to TeXShop icon. That leads me to believe  
TeXShop doesn't use epstopdf when you drag an .eps file to its icon.

Best,

Axel
