I'm no expert on this, but my impression is that if you export a raster image into eps (JPEG for sure, TIFF likely) with most graphics programs you get just the raster image inside some EPS wrappings -- there's no "conversion" of the image itself to any kind of vector format. Am I wrong on this? (as a general proposition, and for Mathematica in particular)
