[Tex/LaTex] Unable to load picture or PDF file

file-lookupgraphics

XeLaTeX has stopped including .eps files in my document. I get errors such as:

! Unable to load picture or PDF file './images/deBuitleir.fig4.eps'.

The image file is there, I double-checked.

History: Inclusion of .eps images worked fine until I did a "safe-upgrade" on Debian. Based on this and this, it seems to be a regression of an old Debian bug. Since I couldn't find a patch that fixed the problem, I removed all TeX and XeTeX packages on my Debian system and installed TeX Live from source. I then updated my path. Unfortunately, the error is still occurring, even though I have a "plain vanilla" TeX Live installation.

I really really don't want to convert all of my .eps files to another format. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you in advance.

Here's the MWE:

\documentclass[letter,10pt]{article}

\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

Figure 1

\includegraphics[scale=0.5,keepaspectratio=true]{./images/deBuitleir.fig1.eps}

\end{document}

Your file has two dots, so LaTeX sees it as .fig4.eps - which is an unknown graphics file type.

Add \usepackage[multidot]{grffile}

It seems that the problem lies in a missing / at the end of the absolute path. Note as well that the default font features were wrong. I've cleaned your MWE, and it should work. Change the absolute path and the image name to test.

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{grffile}
\graphicspath{{/home/test/images/}} % Change the path
\usepackage{fontspec}
\defaultfontfeatures{RawFeature=+cpsp,
    RawFeature=+mark,
    RawFeature=+mkmk,
    RawFeature=+ccmp,
    RawFeature=+kern,
    RawFeature=+liga,
    RawFeature=+pnum,
    RawFeature=+case,
    RawFeature=+cpsp}
\setmainfont{Linux Libertine O}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{sample.png} % Change the image name
\end{figure}
\lipsum
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Unable to load picture or PDF file (NEF)

There is no way to directly include TIFF files with pdflatex. The program pdftex used to support some TIFF files, but the developers eventually decided against this, because reall supporting TIFF means supporting tens (perhaps hundreds) different formats. So conversion to PNG seems the only alternative.

I tested the following after downloading a sample NEF file from http://www.luminescentphoto.com/nx2/nefs.html and making sure the dcraw (for GraphicsMagick) or ufraw (for ImageMagick) utilities are available on the machine.

The example file is

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx,epstopdf}

\epstopdfDeclareGraphicsRule{.nef}{png}{.png}{%
  % convert #1 \OutputFile  % for ImageMagick (uses ufraw)
  gm convert #1 \OutputFile % for GraphicsMagick (uses dcraw)
}

\begin{document}

\includegraphics[width=5cm]{baby.nef}

\end{document}

to be run with pdflatex -shell-escape.

This will do the conversion on the fly, but just once, producing the file baby-nef-converted-to.png.

Use one of the two lines above depending on what conversion program you have or prefer.

Some figures: the original NEF file is 18 MiB; conversion with dcraw produces a 13 MiB PNG file (8-bit/color); conversion with ufraw produces a 55 MiB PNG file (16-bit/color). Take your pick or adjust the conversion options.
