First two things to check:

1.  Is ImageMagick (correctly) on LyX's path prefix (Tools ->
Preferences... -> Paths -> PATH prefix)?

2.  If so, does IM work correctly?  Can you convert an image file to
PPM format from a command prompt?

If this doesn't help, we'll have to poke around with the conversion
script and see if we can get any informative messages.

Hi Paul:

Thanks for the message.

1. Apparently, ImageMagick is correctly configured on LyX path prefix. The entry is:

C:\Arquivos de programas\ImageMagick-6.3.3-Q16;

which is the directory where convert.exe is found.

2. From the command prompt, I make

convert figure1.ps figure1.png

This conversion works ok, and I am able to include the resulting .png image as a graphic in LyX, and it is properly shown.

However, if I make

convert figure1.ps figure1.ppm

the conversion does not work properly. It generates a bad .ppm file, that I cannot open with the GIMP (although I am able to include it as a graphic and to see it in LyX).
