I'm a very inexpert user, so I didn't change anything in LyX's setup. There was no converter defined at all for png->eps, so I added one now. Does LyX use another converter by default? I didn't worry before because everything seemed to work. > Does this work from the command line > $ convert your_file.png EPS:your_file.eps It does. I just made a lyx doc with just the one PNG in it... It works (before defining the converter). So it may have been something with the previous image, which I don't have anymore. I'll do some more tests. Thanks, John
