I use the latex->dvips->ps2pdf chain that is what prosper manual
recommends. So the conversion from tiff to eps would happen
automatically as described by the rule
\DeclareGraphicsRule{.tif}{eps}{.tif.bb}{`tiff2ps -e #1}
but it doesn't. Why?

I'll look at these packages, but it seems that they all need to be
loaded after hyperref and graphicx, that can be a problem because
prosper load hyperref and graphicx before.
Any other suggestion is wellcome. ;-)
Thanks in advance,
