I am attempting for the first time to import a figure into a ConTeXt document and am getting "figure 0481c can not be found." I am using TexLive on a Windows Vista system. I thought I was following the manual but apparently am doing something wrong. Here is the relevant code: %file 0481c.tif is located in c:\BookLayouts\Wisconsin\photos \setupexternalfigures[directory={c:/BookLayouts/Wisconsin/photos}] \useexternalfigure[ladies][0481c][width=3.127in] %after \starttext \placefigure[left]{none}{\externalfigure[ladies]} Tom Benjey Tuxedo Press 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey

tiff is not supported directly (the format is simply too open ended) so use png instead of convert them them to pdf beforehand Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

A good option is to convert a tiff file in pdf; see http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/tiff.htm
