To me, anything viewed in GV looks bad. :( If I make a PDF or a PS
file with photographs in it, GV just does a very poor job of displaying
them. (They look very dithered and blocky.)
However, if I use something like Xpdf to view them, they look great.
Also, when transported to another system to print on a good printer
(like the DocuColor 2060 at work!) they look just fine. So, my advice
is to see how they look in your *final* output, and then worry. :)

"Convert" should be fine... you might look at the help for that
program to check things like dpi, though. Also you could use GIMP or
other such programs where you can see the result on screen. My
suspicion is that it's only GV that looks bad -- not your pictures!
