graphics question

[Myriam Abramson]

Hi!

I have a jpep picture that I converted to postscript to insert it in
my lyx document. The graphics do not look very nice.  Is there any
other way to insert a picture? 

Thanks,

jpeg2ps - convert JPEG compressed images to PostScript Level 2

jpeg2ps is available from http://www.ifconnection.de/~tm
and many other sites, notably CTAN mirrors.

Purpose of jpeg2ps
==
jpeg2ps converts JPEG files to PostScript Level 2 or 3 EPS. In fact,
jpeg2ps
is not really a converter but a "wrapper": it reads the image parameters
(width, height, number of color components) in a JPEG file, writes the
according EPS header and then copies the compressed JPEG data to the
output
file. Decompression is done by the PostScript interpreter (only
PostScript
Level 2 and 3 interpreters support JPEG compression and decompression).
If you have a slow communication channel and a fast printer, sending
compressed image data is a big win.

Could be - works fine for me using the Gimp.

What happens if you use Insert -> External Material -> Rasterimage?
