  It very much depends on the image you have; it could be an image with a
very high resolution, which is useless if you include it at a small
scale. You should show us a sample image file and TeX source in order for
us to be able to diagnose anything (please put it somewhere on the Web
and send a link; do not send it to the list if it's so large).
