Are you talking about the preview (on screen view) or the printout too? Can you send a sample (small) document? What kind of images are we really talking about? The problem may be your images (if the lossless format looks bad, the lossy or compressed version won't look better than that anyway).

I am currently using version 1.3.1. However, I have been having major difficulties with the quality of images in a document when exporting to DVI, PS or PDF. Images appear kind of "blocky", almost like they are at a low resolution. I have tried with various image formats, including JPEG, GIF, PNG and EPS. I have included the graphicx package, as I understood that this may be beneficial when using JPEGs, but it didn't seem to help. I have tried using different programs, such as dvips, pdflatex, and tex2pdf, but they all produce poor output. I am guessing that these programs are not the problem, because the DVI itself is poor quality, so I am thinking it might be a Latex issue? I am not very knowledgable when it comes to Latex so I can't be sure. Any help on this issues is much appreciated. I'm starting a thesis in a few weeks, and would hate to have to use a normal word processor, but if I can't get my images and charts etc to look acceptable I may have no choice. Regards, Alistair
