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

[Themis Matsoukas]

Similar (but not identical) problem here: Exporting from illustrator  
to jpg seems to always invert the colors of (i) the thumbnail and  
(ii) of the image that is imported into texshop (whether dropping the  
jpg onto texshop, or using includegraphics) . Yet, when the jpg file  
is opened in Illustrator or in Graphic Converter (but NOT in  
preview.app), the colors are not inverted! I don't recall ever having  
this problem with eps, only with jpg, but it's reproducible each time.
