"convert" chops off part of postscript file?
I have images in PS that I want to convert to JPG (unfortunately, I need to use them in Powerpoint! Smilie). The problem is that the edges of the image get chopped off when I use:

Code:
convert filename.ps filename.jpg

So, for example, in my plots, the top and bottom labels for the x-axis are missing, which is problematic.

Any ideas what to do about this?

I should say:

I just tried this using ghostscript and it works great, except for one thing: it takes my landscape plot and puts it on a portrait page, so there's a ton of whitespace! I can remove it manually but I have a lot of images so if there's a command to change the orientation, I'd appreciate it Smilie
