Nonetheless, Uwe has highlighted your problem. "converters" in lyx are pluggable components. See the Edit->Preferences dialog and the "Converters" pane therein. So, devise a converter from EPS to PNG and LyX will use that in place of the fallback "convertDefault.sh". One solution might be to use gs itself to define your converter. See the my_ps2png converter that I posted in the "Gnuplot & -90 rotation" thread. If you're sure that your EPS files are conformant, then you might be able to define your converter as simply gs -q -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=png16m -sOutputFile=$$o $$i But see the comments about "gs is extremely fussy about the EPS files it converts". Also note that my solution to that problem, "eps2eps", is extremely crude, converting any vector graphics in the eps file to bitmaps. You might use "ps2eps" instead. But the bottom line is, does any of this really matter? The on-screen view in lyx is enough to remind you of what the image is and the on-paper output is excellent, no? -- Angus
