Nothing much happens.
We do a \includegraphics[width=$TeXWidth mm]{$file}
in the TeX.
Then do a TeX->DVI->PS->PDF morph
I am not sure if anyof these prcoesses are doing any kind of morphing
on the image but I suspect only the PS->PDF does any kind of change.
BUT if you start with a JPEG/GIF/PNG file the result EPS will be a
raster EPS and will suffer quaulity issues. It would be best if you
saved an EPS file out of the drawing application, you would likely
then get a vector EPS which handles resizing issues much better.
