Big "if" when it comes to vector graphics. All of the other common create very
low barometric readings by comparison.

Photos as EPS are handy when you want to create vector clipping paths.

Or if you need to bring them into PPT and have them come back out unmolested
(ie, PS workflow, you're color managing the photos, have converted them to CMYK
and don't want PPT mucking about with them).

Maybe that's what's going on here; otherwise, the only good reason I know of
for using them in PPT is to cause trouble.
