[OS X TeX] EPS figures black/white reversed in Preview

[John Peterson]

I have had a similar problem, but without going through all the steps  
taken by JT.  On some occasions, with no discernable pattern, I have  
had some eps figures show in the preview with black/white reversed.   
This is not restricted to black and white figures, but when the  
background is black I cannot see what has happened to the colors.  
This has happened when the document has been saved in Illustrator and  
I use epstopdf in TeXshop.  I have found that (some times) if I  
reopen the eps file and save it in pdf format and then call the  
figure as foo.pdf rather than foo.eps, I get the colors showing  
correctly.
