Some offshoots of this conversation: 1. You can use Scale Image to Frame to get you in the ballpark, then switch back to Free Scaling as needed. This can help you do a nondestructive crop of your image, only showing the part that you want to see in your final PDF. 2. We talk about (truly) resizing images from time to time, but it's probably only worth the effort when you have so many images that performance in Scribus is suffering, or you're threatening to overshoot your RAM's capabilities. 3. Surf the wiki for various kinds of information about this and other issues. http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Main_Page 4. And make sure you consider buying the Official Manual, which is just chock-full of information about this and many many other issues. Go to Amazon and search "Scribus". Greg
