The option via Preview ("Print->save as pdf" with eps option sounds like the perfect solution for me. But when I call up one of the images in Preview and click on save as pdf, I only get options involving pdf, no eps option shows itself. Do you mean that
when I name the file, give it a n .eps extension? That sounds too simple to be true.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It seems I can save the images as pdf's and then include them as pdf's, but I want to incorporate them in a single frame, not make them separate frames in the presentation.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for the idea, though.</div>

<div>Use an external utility to convert the .JPG images to a different format.</div>
<div>These need to be .eps for LaTeX as the processing engine.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You can do this by point click using Preview, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); ">the

</div>
Since you will be doing multiple processing runs anyway, you might as well convert the graphics to a format that "just works" with the engine you need for the psTricks stuff.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Alternatively, you could run a separate job that turns the psTricks parts into PDF images.</div>
<div>Then you can stick with pdfLaTeX and not have to worry about the JPG images.</div>
<div>There are packages that help with this approach, but you can do it anyway.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Your separate job just needs to put the psTricks parts onto separate pages of a PDF,</div>
<div>then include those pages into your main job, using</div>
<div> \includegraphics[page=... ,scale=... ,viewport=... ... ... ... ,clip]{ ..... } </div>
<div>options and arguments.</div>
<div>The 4 integer arguments to viewport= specify the bounding box in points, allowing you to crop as loosely or tightly as you wish, for best aesthetics on your slides. You have full control, within the LaTeX source.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Others will give instructions on how to use other packages, which essentially do the same kind of thing, but with the details all hidden inside macro expansions triggering the file conversions.</div>
<div>I prefer to understand what the steps are actually doing, and keep my final runs as uncomplicated as possible.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope this helps,</div>
