Display only a single figure when in draft mode
Just set draft=false
for the picture you want to be shown anyway:
\documentclass[draft]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics[width=50pt]{example-image-a}
\includegraphics[draft=false,width=50pt]{example-image-b}
\includegraphics[width=50pt]{example-image-c}
\end{document}
Create a macro \includegraphicsfinal
(say) which will always be set in final
mode, regardless of whether your document is set in final
or draft
mode:
\documentclass[draft]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\includegraphicsfinal}[2][]{{%
\Gin@draftfalse% Turn draft mode off
\includegraphics[#1]{#2}}% Include graphic
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\includegraphics[width=50pt]{example-image-a}
\includegraphicsfinal[width=50pt]{example-image-b}
\includegraphics[width=50pt]{example-image-c}
\end{document}
Note the grouping inside \includegraphicsfinal
which provides a localized scope for the change to \ifGin@draft
.
