Yes, it does... and I shall try that next time. Thank you very much. However, the complexity of this process suggests the explicit question: are there any plans to include a flattening feature in Scribus? Doc PS Probably the final result for lulu doesn't have to be 1.3; it probably just needs to be flat (assuming that you and I mean the same thing by "flattened"... I mean that the pixel-by-pixel representation is identical to the layered representation, so that, for example, gradients appear correctly, even though everything is on a single layer).
