Cannot find images

Post by jschimpf »

Hi,
I'm using LyX Version 2.1.2.2 on OS X 10.10.2 and have a problem with Lyx finding images. When I try to turn the document into a PDF it says it cannot them.

In the first case the image is in the Preamble, used for the title page.

\includegraphics[width=4in,keepaspectratio=true]{images/NEA.png}

The image is present in that particular location.

The second in another document, when I have an image frame and right click and insert the image which I browse to. It then says it cannot find that image. In this document there are a LOT of images and only this one has a problem.

Oh yes both images are PNG's.

Any suggestions ? Thank you very much for your help.

Hi and welcome,

you are giving quite few information there. How are you compiling? In which format are all the other image files?

Sad thing is, we are a bit short on LyX helpers, i have absolutely no experience with it.


Can you boil down you document till it just contains both images and still shows the error? Export it to latex and post it here (maybe with the pictures). I bet we will find a solution ;-)
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Hi Jim,

welcome to the forum!

You could post the .log file here, as attachment. And as Johannes said, if you would post the LaTeX export file as attachment, we could help well even without LyX.
