In Scribus? I see no tool for that. you're right: you will have to find/write a tool outside of scribus to that... in the .sla you will find an entry like this for each picture: <PAGEOBJECT OwnPage="0" PTYPE="2" XPOS="203" YPOS="176" WIDTH="307" HEIGHT="436" RADRECT="0" FRTYPE="0" CLIPEDIT="0" PWIDTH="1" PCOLOR="None" PCOLOR2="None" COLUMNS="1" COLGAP="0" NAMEDLST="" SHADE="100" SHADE2="100" GRTYP="0" ROT="0" PLINEART="1" PLINEEND="0" PLINEJOIN="0" LOCALSCX="0.317149" LOCALSCY="0.317149" LOCALX="0" LOCALY="0" PICART="1" PLTSHOW="0" BASEOF="0" textPathType="0" textPathFlipped="0" FLIPPEDH="0" FLIPPEDV="0" SCALETYPE="0" RATIO="1" PRINTABLE="1" ANNOTATION="0" ANNAME="" TEXTFLOWMODE="0" TEXTFLOW="0" TEXTFLOW2="0" TEXTFLOW3="0" AUTOTEXT="0" EXTRA="0" TEXTRA="0" BEXTRA="0" REXTRA="0" FLOP="0" PFILE="docs/abcd/heizung.jpg" PFILE2="" PFILE3="" PRFILE="" EPROF="" IRENDER="0" EMBEDDED="0" LOCK="0" LOCKR="0" REVERS="0" TransValue="0" TransValueS="0" TransBlend="0" TransBlendS="0" isTableItem="0" TopLine="0" LeftLine="0" RightLine="0" BottomLine="0" isGroupControl="0" NUMDASH="0" DASHS="" DASHOFF="0" NUMPO="16" POCOOR="0 0 0 0 307 0 307 0 307 0 307 0 307 436 307 436 307 436 307 436 0 436 0 436 0 436 0 436 0 0 0 0 " NUMCO="16" COCOOR="0 0 0 0 307 0 307 0 307 0 307 0 307 436 307 436 307 436 307 436 0 436 0 436 0 436 0 436 0 0 0 0 " NUMGROUP="0" GROUPS="" startArrowIndex="0" endArrowIndex="0" OnMasterPage="" ImageClip="" ImageRes="1" Pagenumber="0" isInline="0" fillRule="1" doOverprint="0" gXpos="0" gYpos="0" gWidth="0" gHeight="0" LAYER="0" BOOKMARK="0" NEXTITEM="-1" BACKITEM="-1"> if the image is of the size of the frame, you will now know that your current picture is 307 pixel wide and 436 high. you also have the path to the picture in PFILE... feed this data to imagemagik and you will have all the pictures at the right size (i would backup the images first). i think that it should also be possible to create a python script which would do that work inside of scribus. this script doesn't exist yet but should be easy to develop if the current API supports that features. ciao a.l.e
