Hi Craig, nice to see this massiv improvement in the print preview.
Maybe, you can give me a hind in the following problem, as there was nobody on the list how could answer - or maybe nobody understod my stupid english describtion. My printer-office expects 600dpi pdf from me - no problem. But how do I deal with photos, that have a resolution less than 600dpi (I have a 4 megapixel digikam). If I put them into the scribus-doc, it`s shows me that they have around 300 dpi resolution. In the past, a used gimp tools to work with this pictures, as long as scribus shows me a 600 dpi resolution. But this is quite hard work, I don`t know whether is makes sense for quality at all and the picture date is quite high, so that scribus slows down. What if I use the original resolution photos and create 600 dpi pdfs? Do they have the original ~ 300 dpi resolution in the pdf, too - or are the converted into 600 dpi as well (what about quality?). Maybe, I have to set the picture resolution to 600 dpi in the pdf dialog to reach my aim, or is this option yust to define a picture-resolution different the the global pdf resolution? I hope somebody can answer till sunday evening, cause I have to finish my work tomorrow. Thank you, Sebastian Am Freitag, 27.
