Images is -- still -- an undocumented mess. Sorry for the term, but this is my feeling.

Yes and no. I don't think you can remove additional compression without changing code in fop, but it shouldn't matter as the compression methods used are not lossy. Thus image quality should be preserved. If you specify image width in the .fo document, the correct DPI is used. E.g. a 300 pixel wide image included with width="1in" will print at a resolution of 300 DPI. If you're going to use JPEG images you're even luckier. Fop includes the image directly into the pdf document by using the pdf DCTEncode filter. Embedded ICC profiles are also supported for jpeg images (this is for the soon to be released Fop-0.20.3 version) Tore > I need to make a printable photo-book output with a grid from > 1,4,16,etc. digital camera pictures on various paper sizes.
