Error including image in Latex

Question

I am getting the following error while compiling my Latex File      LaTeX Error  Cannot determine size of graphic in tree jpg  no BoundingBox    Why do I get this error   What has this to do with an  eps file    In fact  I could compile it fine with MacTex on my machine  But when I submit it online to a scientific journal for publication  it compiles it on the server and sends me the resultant PDF which has all these errors that prevent it from compiling   I am using the following syntax for including the images     begin figure   h       begin center           scalebox 0 45                includegraphics tree jpg        end center               caption  small A sample               label tree   end figure    What should I do   Could it be that their server is using an old compiler    UPDATE   It finally worked  I converted the first image to PDF and the compilation happened perfectly  I guess it used the bounding box value from that PDF and applied it to all images

On a Mac  pdftex  I managed to include a png file simply with  includegraphics width 1 2 textwidth  filename png   But in order for that to work I had to comment out the following 2 packages     usepackage dvips  epsfig     usepackage dvips  graphicx      and simply use package graphicx    usepackage graphicx   It seems  dvips  is problematic when used with pdftex

I ve had the same problems including jpegs in LaTeX  The engine isn t really built to gather all the necessary size and scale information from JPGs  It is often better to take the JPEG and convert it into a PDF  on a mac  or EPS  on a PC   GraphicsConvertor on a mac will do that for you easily  Whereas a PDF includes DPI and size  a JPEG has only a size in terms of pixels      I know this is not the answer you wanted  but it s probably better to give them EPS PDF that they can use than to worry about what happens when they try to scale your JPG

Using  jpg files do not forget about compiling directly to  pdf  pdflatex  and use   graphicx package with pdftex option   usepackage pdftex  graphicx

I had the same problem  caused by a clash between the graphicx package and an inclusion of the epsfig package that survived the ages     Please check that there is no inclusion of epsfig  it is deprecated

To include png and jpg  you need to specify the Bounding Box explicitly    includegraphics bb 0 0 1280 960  images some image png    Where 1280 and 960 are respectively width and height

I use MacTex  and my editor is TexShop  It probably has to do with what compiler you are using  When I use pdftex  the command    includegraphics height 60mm  width 100mm  number2 png    works fine  but when I use  Tex and Ghostscript   I get the same error as you  about not being able to get the size information  Use pdftex   Incidentally  you can change this in TexShop from the  Typeset  menu   Hope this helps

If you have Gimp  I saw that exporting the image in  eps format would do the job
