Note that there are two separate functions for inserting JPEG images
and inserting "other" images. JPEG images are literally included in
the PDF output (using PDF's DCTDecode
filter). "Other"
images are stored as a pixel array, using Flate compression. Note
that on some systems the function for "other" images will also
accept JPEG files--obviously, the resulting PDF files will be much
larger than if they had been included as JPEG images.
Images are stored most efficiently in PDF format. It is reasonable to create PDF presentations with lots of JPEG photographs in Ipe. While the screen display is too slow, Ipe does create good quality PDF files for these. Storing images in (Encapsulated) Postscript, however, cannot be recommended for larger images, as each image has to be embedded twice!
