sure, you should be able to... I believe the line command dvips (I may be wrong about that) can be used to create an .eps. Photoshop should also be able to save the file into the same resolution; so long as when the .eps file is imported into Adobe that you import it in the correct resolution (default is usually 72 dpi, so make sure you change it to .. what? 300 dpi?)

The nice thing with using latex to do it is that you're still guranteed the correct resolution. it takes some tinkering around but it does tend to work. That's how I did my thesis; I made separate files of all the figures and added the correct page number via latex and tacked everything into one huge PDF file using Distiller. Granted, I was making .ps files and not .eps files. I'll do a quick search on the internet (I need to download MiKTeX to my laptop anyway) and see what I come up with.
