Please update to the current version (step 1, will solve many problems you're likely to discover from now on) I see you're using pdftex. No version of pdftex can handle eps directly. Please convert your image to pdf and use that. You can use acrobat of ghostscript to convert your file. Hope this helps. Maarten
\setupoutput[pdftex] \useexternalfigure [appleblossom][DSCN0043] [type=eps,width=.4\makeupwidth]
hi as marteen said, you cannot include a eps figure directly. then you can shorten your text like this: \setupoutput[pdftex] \useexternalfigure[appleblossom][DSCN0043] [width=.4\makeupwidth] \starttext \startfiguretext [left] {none} {\externalfigure[appleblossom]} Some text \stopfiguretext \stoptext I think that's what you want greez severin
