Hi,



Bit hard to say without trying to duplicate your actions.

What sort of image was it, jpg,png, tiff or something else, psd?

What imaging software can you use, or are using?

Do you know the image properties, size and dpi?

Also, what version of Scribus are you using (Help->About Scribus)

Hi Owen,

The image in question is a JPG. I don't know what program my graphic artist
uses (I assume PSP), but I have Photoshop Elements 9 on my machine and have
only a basic understanding of it.

The image size is 2454 pixels by 3000 pixels, 300 dpi.

I am using Scribus 1.4.0

Thanks!
Cindy
