There is no easy or elegant way to do that, sorry.

This is more an experimental feature. Images are generally nice - at
least for all the people with color monitors. However, there are two
problems: Images can't create PostScript output and they make is
difficult to change colors. So the default is to use bitmaps. However,
this requires large bitmap files compared to e.g. gif files.
