Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Inclusion of JPG Files fails

[texlearner]

I am a newbie LaTeX user. I am trying to import a JPG file into my report but I am getting the following error:

Package pdflatex.def Error: File 'filename.jpg' not found \includegraphicsfilename.jpg}

The source I am using is as follows:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[ht]
\centering
\includegraphics{filename.jpg}
\label{fig:fig1}
\end{figure}

I also tried a variant of the above code in which gave the full path of the JPG file. But the error persists.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[ht]
\centering
\includegraphics{/home/.../Desktop/filename.jpg}
\label{fig:fig1}
\end{figure}

I am compiling it using PDFLaTeX. I am using Kile under Ubuntu 11.04. I have the .tex file as well as the image in my desktop folder.

Can somebody help me out with this?

I suspect this is a problem with your editor / IDE. If you open a shell with the working directory on your desktop, what happens when you run PDFLaTeX?

Hi,

perhaps post your .log file here as attachment to your post. Besides errors and warnings it contains information which often help to investigate problems.

I'm using MikTeX 2.9(64bit) on Win7(64bit). I've got the problem with including graphic in jpg format. Command:

Code: Select all

\includegraphics{sym1.jpg}

is enlarging the picture.
Even putting parameter [scale=1.0] doesn't input image in oryginal size. I have to use for example [scale=0.8], but it makes picture looking worse then oryginal.

My second problem is with this code:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[h]
	\centering
	\includegraphics[scale=0.8]{sym2_2.jpg}
	\caption{Description of the imgae, description of the image \newline(more description of the image etc(2 lines of the discription)}
	\label{sym2_2}
\end{figure}

Discription of the image is align to the left, but i want it to center. Was trying

Code: Select all

\center{\caption{Descr..}}

Doesn't work.
Could someone help me figure this out?
Thanks.
