Hello,
Using pdflatex under 1.3.7 and 1.4.3 on a Mac and 1.3.7 on XP, a jpeg 
picture is displayed much larger than using ps2pdf, dvipdfm, or dvi 
converters under the LyX->View dialog. Any ideas? I wouldn't mind using 
a different converter, but on my five year old iBook pdflatex has the 
fastest conversion (by about 1min or more) to a pdf document. Everything 
is installed under Fink, and the pdflatex conversion command under 
~Preferences->Converters->Latex to PDF is 'pdflatex $$i'. Thanks.

How are you scaling the image?  I get consistent results across 
View->DVI, View->PDF (pdflatex) and View->PDF (ps2pdf) if I scale based 
on absolute units or text%; adventures occur if I scale using scale%. 
(Curiously, I don't get any image output if I use View->PDF (dvipdfm) or 
export to PDF (dvipdfm) -- no JPG, no PNG, not even EPS.  Just 
appropriately sized blank spaces in the file.)
