Below are the paths taken from lyx to pdf depending on the compiler used. Maybe this helps the understanding? lyx format --LyX--> latex format latex format --latex--> dvi format dvi format --dvips--> ps format ps format --ps2pdf--> pdf format lyx format --pdflatex--> pdf format In other words, if you're looking at a dvi file then you have used the 'latex' compiler, not the 'pdflatex' one. The latex compiler requires that all graphics be in eps format, so lyx converts your png files to eps. I assume that it is using the default 'convertDefault.sh' script to do so. Angus
