Hi,
I am using 0.39 and have an inkspace-generated SVG that contains several images that I want to include in latex as EPS.
When I indivually place each image in the page, change page size to match image size and print direct, I choose various resolutions such as 72DPI, 300DPI etc. The output filesize is the same no matter what DPI setting I choose.
The issue is the size of the file, it is common for the file to be 7MB which results in the latex-generated postscript document being too large for me to email.
Perhaps I am using the wrong procedure to generate an EPS, either way, I'd like to have smaller EPS images :)
Kind regards,
JoeBloe

PostScript and Encapsulated PostScript are vector-based formats, like SVG. Vector objects will simply be transformed, so the only change between DPI sizes will be the transformation matrix. PostScript can include raster images, but probably they also simply have a transform applied.

Some suggestions are:
* When importing raster images (e.g. JPGs), first reduce the resolution in e.g. the GIMP. * Look for ways to simplify the design of the vector parts. * You can import raster images directly into LaTeX, rather than going through Inkscape / SVG (the graphicx package).
