Good point, Rob. Most metafile formats can contain raster data
in addition to (or in some cases instead of) vector data.
But the central point remains: unless you use a file format that
can handle vector data, all notion of graphic objects like glyphs,
lines, curves, rectangles, etc. is lost when the image is converted
to a dumb pattern of dots.
To build upon Fred's post, one more thing about image formats and raster v.
vector (because it's not confusing enough yet):
Illustrator EPS = vector
PhotoShop EPS = raster
EPS files can be both vector and raster, depending on the application used
to create them. Just one more thing to keep in mind.
