			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Up until now I have been using the &#8216;<strong>convert</strong>&#8216; tool that comes with <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org">ImageMagick</a> to switch between image formats &#8212; mainly for creating EPS files from JPG/PNG (raster format) files for use with LaTeX. Then I came across <a href="http://code.google.com/p/sam2p/">sam2p</a>. </p>
<p>It is a light-weight utility that does one thing only and it does it well: convert between image formats. I&#8217;ve been using it for a while now and find that it can greatly reduce files sizes with minimal drop in quality. I&#8217;ve even used it to process existing EPS files just to get the reduction in file size. Best of all, it is multi-platform &#8212; executables are available for both Windows and Linux on the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/sam2p/">project homepage</a>.</p>
<p>Goodbye <strong>convert</strong> and hello <strong>sam2p</strong>!</p>
