Hi, The suggestion of opening in GIMP and re-saving is a good one, but IIRC, there was a bug fixed in 2.0.1 or 2.0.2, which fixes Tiff saving issues. Updating is a good idea for sure. As for TIFF/IT support, yes, this would be a useful feature, but PDF does bring more versatility IMO and Scribus exported PDF are superb - one of its strongest features.. I will look into the specs when time allows, but our focus is 100% on delivering a rock stable 1.2 Scribus. Cheers, Peter
