Hi all,

The cover of my Ebook was created in Vim, and is incorporated on the first 
page of my LyX file as a .jpg. I started with an 8.5x11 drawing in Gimp, but 
it was too huge and I had to scale the image to quarter size and put it in 
LyX. If I scaled using linear interpolation, the letters were blurry at 
higher magnifications. If I scaled using cubic or Lanczos interpolation, it 
caused some disturbing artifacts, especially at higher magnifications within 
the .pdf file.

Anyone know of a way I can use a full sized 8.5x11 graphic without it taking 
over a megabyte of memory? One would think it would be very compressible. 
Over half the graphic is contiguous pure white, with another 10% contiguous 
pure black.

Thanks
