Do not try to cheat ourselves! LyX's support and also LaTeX's to GIF,
JPEG,
PNG, etc is very poor.
My regular task is to create tutorials with a lot of screenshots.
I did my best to use LyX then LaTeX and eventually PDFLaTeX, but the
result
was always terrible.
So I returned back to simple HTML. Of course HTML provides very poor
print
quality but it is quite good for on-line viewing.
This eps and ps image-based technology is very awful.
I am also eager to return back to LyX, LaTeX world, but I want also to
use
good quality images.
I know there is a book solely dedicated to LaTeX and graphics, maybe it
contains some invaluable hints.
