Hi, After a couple of trials and errors, I decided to post to the list.
1. I need to import a b/w nameplate with transparent background for my tutorial on newspaper design. Scribus 1.3.3.6 seems unable to handle 1-bit TIFF files with transparency. What are my other options? I was considering 1-bit PNG files. Are those okay? 2. The RGB images imported into Scribus will be auto-converted into CMYK if I select "Print" under Color when Exporting PDFs, right? Does that mean I don't need to convert RGB images into CMYK separated TIFFs using GIMP's Separate plugin? What are the differences? I'm asking because I sometimes need transparent background, so switching to PNG-based workflow seemed like a good option. 3. Finally, I wanted to create a path for an image in the GIMP, but I have no clue about how to import the path into Scribus and use it as a contour for wrapping text around it. I don't mind drawing the paths manually (heck, I even have to do it in InDesign most of the time because of poor PSD transparency support), but if there is a way of importing GIMP paths, that would be excellent. TIA Best regards, Branko
