You have to insert new converters. Go into LyX preferences -> converters and add for example jpg to eps. Your converter is imagemagick with the convert.exe. Therefore you insert the command convert $$i $$o in the convertor line ($$i stands for input $$o for output) > How do I check imagemagick is installed properly etc. Open a console, change to a directory with a picture. Assuming the picture is foo.gif then type convert foo.gif foo.png and then imdisplay foo.png Now imagemagick should appear and display the image. When you use LyX under Windows and insert a converter for gif to png (for using pdflatex), gif-pictures are no longer displayed inside LyX. I don't know why.
