You don't. When you properly set up the file hierarchy as I described,
LyX does it for you. All you have to do is insert a picture and you'll
notice that the path is relative.

The problem is when you go outside of the hierarchy that contains your
LyX file, then LyX puts in an absolute path for you because that's its
only way to locate it. However, if you stay within the directory or
below the directory of the LyX file then LyX puts in a relative path
because it knows where the picture is "relative" to the lyx file. Hope
that made sense.

> I think that below you wrote in absolute.  Right?

No. That was just an example of how to set up the document paths (or
hierarchy) on your hard drive. It had nothing to do with LyX.
