Just one day before the final paper deadline - does anyone have a good
suggestion on how to control the size of images in the output?

Currently the images are made as wide as the page is, resulting right now
in my paper with two pictures taking up a page each in the pdf output. The
html output seems to take the images at a reasonable size (how large the
images actually are).

sincerely,
Marije
