Hi, May be your Scribus was not compiled with Tiff support. You can check this by going to Help->About Scribus At the bottom of the About dialog there is a build ID which should look like C-C-T-F-C (for 1.3.x version). The T is for Tiff support. If you have a * instead of the T, then you don't have built-in support for Tiff. Fred. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
