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. Saving in Postscript is somewhat less efficient, as Ipe generates clean 7-bit Postscript files.
Note that images often appear on the screen with reduced resolution to ensure fast display updates--they are saved with full quality in the PDF/Postscript output. You can adjust the quality of the screen preview in the Preferences.
