All images are simply converted during compilation without any change of size or
resolution. In the english version, many figures are screenshots with only 72dpi
resolution. You are right they sometimes could be better, but I don't know of
any parameter for dvipdf or dvips conversion that make the images look better,
except using images with a higher resolution - just my 2c.

 Otto
