any hints to read the original large JPGs, but only write "print quality" 300dpi images, or low quaity 75dpi images for speed (and saving net bandwidth when mailing PDFs to co-workers of the group)?
Hi Harald, how about converting the JPEG files with ImageMagick with two directories (such as print-quality and screen-quality)? If you use the same image file names, you could also use modes: \enablemode[print] \startmode[print] \setupexternalfigures[location=/home/user/project/img-print/] \stopmode \startmode[screen] \setupexternalfigures[location=/home/user/project/img-screen/] \stopmode \starttext \externalfigure[image-filename.jpg] \stoptext As long as you use the same filenames and the right mode, ConTeXt will choose the right file for each format. BTW, I don’t know whether ConTeXt can shrink image quality, but I think this workaround could do the job. I hope it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
