I've created a few documents in Scribus and am very happy with it overall. Sure, it takes a bit of getting used to but that's true with any sophisticated piece of software. My question has to do with image quality in pdf documents created by scribus. What happens is this: I have images that I've edited (either in GIMP on Linux or Photoshop on Windows). The images look go both on-screen and when printed directly from GIMP or Photoshop. Next, I create a document in scribus and place the photograph in that document. I create a PDF document from that scribus document and take it to be printed. The photograph, however, is seriously washed out. It appears washed out in the pdf when viewed on-screen, also.
I'm not sure if this happens during the inclusion of the image into the scribus document or at the point where the PDF is created. I haven't found any way to control the images other than going back into the image in GIMP and darkening them (much darker than seems reasonable). Is that what I should be doing or is there something else going on that I can control? Thanks for any advice you can provide. -- Henry
