Here is my template:
===============
\newif\ifpdf
\ifx\pdfoutput\undefined
    \pdffalse
    \documentclass[dvips,12pt,a4paper]{article}
\else
    \pdfoutput=1 \let\special\message
    \pdftrue
    \documentclass[pdftex,12pt,a4paper]{article}
\fi
...
\ifpdf
   
    \usepackage[hyperindex=true]{hyperref}
    \usepackage{pslatex}
    \pdfcompresslevel=9
\else
    \usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}
    \usepackage[hypertex,hyperindex=true,colorlinks=false]{hyperref}
\fi
\usepackage{graphicx}

...
\begin{document}             % End of preamble and beginning of text.
\ifpdf
      \DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.png,.pdf,.jpeg,.jpg,.mps} 
\else
      \DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.eps,.ps}
\fi
...
and the rest of the document.
====================================
I then can use 

\includegraphics{imagefile} (without extension) and
it will use the jpeg file if it is available.

Johann
