Hello All,
I wish to insert some photographs into my LyX document. I have the photos as
.jpeg originally and I have converted them to .eps (level 2) using the
Convert package that is part of image magick
ie. convert filename.jpg eps2:filename.eps
When I insert the .eps files into LyX, the image quality is very poor, and
they look very grainy. In fact the .eps files look very poor in most of the
image viewers I have on my system. Except for the Display package (part of
image magick again).
(It doesn't seem to be a problem with figures ie plots, just with
photograpghs)
I realise that the images will print perfectly but I was looking for a way to
make them look better 'on screen'.
I guess LyX relies on ghostscript to render the images on screen ?
Is it possible to make LyX use another image rendering 'engine', for example
the one that Display uses (I have no idea what this is). Display seems to
render the images much faster also.
Maybe this is a development issue ?
Thanks in advance
Nick
