I personally see no case where upsampling by the application is appropriate. If an image is low-res, let the RIP render it as best it can with the available information, or upsample it in a graphics app. It's not worth the confusion (and resource use!) of having Scribus do it IMO. I actually thought this was fixed in 1.3.x already. -- Craig Ringer
