How to work with jpeg2ps software in Windows:
1- After installing GSView (read here for instruction), download jpeg2ps from here, (thanks to sourceforge.com!)
2- After downloading is finished, click on the file and install the software. Note at what folder it's going to be installed. Its default location is usually at "C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\"
3- (Copy and) paste a JPEG, which you want to convert it into eps, into "C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin".
4- On Windows "Start" click on "Run" and write in its empty box "cmd". A black DOS window will appear inside which a default directory is written, usually it is "C:/Program Files/Username>". Each time you write "cd.." in front of the ">" and enter this folder goes one root backwards, so by repeating this you can go back to "C:>". Write "cd Program Files\GnuWin32\bin" or "cd [The "bin" folder address where you installed jpeg2ps at]. Now you are where the software jpeg2ps is! (If you are DOS expert you know how to write shortcut.)
5- Write "jpeg2ps" and you'll see the option menu. It is time now to actually convert a sample picture. Assume the file "sample.jpeg" (which is located at C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin) should be converted to EPS.
6- Write "jpeg2ps sample.jpeg > filename.eps". Doing this will create the file "filename.eps" in the folder C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin. This will be your desired eps file. You can change the resolution as well as other options.
Enjoy!

Thank you for writing this post, as I even could not find the file after dwding...
ReplyDeleteTry this easy command line program, Potrace- been using it for years on Win32 but has many OS versions. Also, many raster types to EPS and SVG. Easy switches. Free!

Thank you Anonymous! I've tried Potrace, it is indeed a good quality transformer to smoother pics. The only concern is that it does not support colorful pictures.
ReplyDeleteThank's a lot Mohammad. I've been trying in Unix and other Windows version of jpeg2ps. Yours really works!
ReplyDeleteSuccess! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very goog post but if you create a small batch in MS-DOS this will be more powerful and simple for the begginer :)
ReplyDeletelike this:
:begin code
@echo off
title ########### Conversion of JPEG to PS or EPS files ###########
echo.
echo :============================:
echo : Conversion begin now :
echo :============================:
echo.
cd "%programfiles%\GnuWin32\bin"
echo.
jpeg2ps %1 > filename.eps
:end code
This is a simple batche file ( Jpeg2ps_batch.bat ), you can change it or add something in it...
