Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ How to display "original size" of the image

[malleat1]

Hello

I've read a link on this question before here, but it didn't solve my problem.

My images for some reason are stretched when I create my PDF file (i.e. way bigger than the original size!).

I'm using TeXnicCenter with this option "Latex => PS => PDF", and my images originally where of type .jpg and I've converted them to EPS using Photoshop.

When I open the images in PS viewer, the size is just perfect!

This is how I'm inserting the images in my .tex file

Code: Select all

\usepackage{graphicx}
...
\begin{figure}
	\centering
		\includegraphics[scale=0.75]{Image.eps}
	\caption{bla}
	\label{fig:bla}
\end{figure}

Any questions.... please feel free... (I'm aware that I'm scaling it down by a 1/4, but the resulting images is still really huge!)...

Hi there,

Why don't you just leave the options out of your includegraphics command:

Code: Select all

\includegraphics{Image}

should take the original size of the figure.

As long as you are not bound to using packages like pstricks which need this compiling route, there is no sense in converting images from JPG to EPS. Use them as they are and compile with pdflatex. Scale them to three quarter of their size to balance the relation between postscript points (also called big points) and pixel [1].

Code: Select all

\includegraphics[scale=0.75]{filename}

Thanks guys very much.
Sorted.

I'm using that setting because all papers I need to publish requires EPS, so I've just kept it as a default ... I don't really want to mess around too much with it in case it breaks or something

<<< no time for fixing

Thanks again
