If you're not sure if you found the buggy file, include it to a new LyX-file and try to produce a PDF. regards Uwe

a- the size of the figures changes in the output when I use pdflatex.

View--PDF and I come back to View--PDF(pdflatex) again, sometimes
(not always) the figures have the right size, like in the View--PDF
output.
View--PDF produces at first a Postscript-file and then a PDF. That
means the jpg-images are converted to EPS (for Postscript) and then to
PDF-images. That's the reason for the long rendering time. pdflatex
generate directly a pdf and jpg-images can be included in PDF without
file format conversion. If you first use View--PDF, the converted
images are stored in LyX's temp directory and are possibly used when you
use another PDF creation method. So reopen the document and use only
pdflatex - is the result then better?
For more infos about this have a look at section 2.7.2 of the file:

b- my files are 16 bit coloured. With View--PDF they appear
correctly, but with View--PDF(pdflatex) colours change strangely, and
it seems there is a loss in the colour depth.
pdflatex don't change/convert jpg-images, so this is strange. You could
try to update your LaTeX-distribution and/or pdflatex if this is possible.
If you have problems with the image quality when they are converted, you
can open the file convertDefault.sh in LyX's scripts directory and
change the line
convert -depth 8 $1 $2 || {
to
convert $1 $2 || {
or to
convert -depth 16 $1 $2 || {
