[GLLUG] postscript document

[Clay Dowling]

Julie,

You might check out The LaTeX Companion, which is found in the computer
section instead of the Human Sexuality section of the bookstore, as one
might expect.  I'm at the office right now, but if you can't find the book
online I'll try to remember to look this up for you at home.

I've definitely included jpeg images into LaTeX documents before, so I
know that it can be done.  Just don't remember what I did to make it work.

Something you definitely will want to do is to change the resolution of
the image.  Jpeg images are naturally at 72dpi, which is a very large and
crude dot for print.  300 dpi is more typical for printing.  If you have
the original data The Gimp can be used to boost the resolution, which will
of course reduce the image size (roughly 1/4th the physical size).
