Images

Gimp - manipulate and create images.
Inkscape - especially good for SVG images.
ImageMagick - great for conversions (see also Online version)
LibreOffice Draw - includes impressive image conversions (even for emf to eps)
Dan's Tools - convert image files.
Converseen - batch converter (includes emf)

Several images can be converted with ImageMagick using: mogrify -format eps3 *.png with ren *.eps3 *.eps, or mogrify -quality 100 -format eps *.jpg or convert fig.png eps3:fig.eps or mogrify -quality 100 -format png *.emf. The generation of eps files can be challenging. For instance, conversion from emf to eps. LibreOffice Draw works best "out of the box".
