Hi! I'm a newbie, just getting used to playing with Scribus. I've looked a little at the archives, but I'm not sure how to narrow things down enough to be useful there, so please forgive me if you've answered this question a hundred times already.
I have a bitmap image of a map, on which I want to superimpose street names, etc. In my initial attempt, I inserted an image frame and got the bitmap, but I couldn't find any way to resize the bitmap itself, just the frame. So as a quick and dirty solution, I used my word processor (OpenOffice Writer) to pick up the image and resize it appropriately, exported a PDF, and inserted that into the Scribus image. All went fine, added text on paths and so on. When I export as a PDF, it complains about the image but when I tell it to ignore errors, everything prints out fine. So far, so good. But now I really want to get at that base bitmap again, change it, and recreate my Scribus document. I clearly need to have the Scribus reference the bitmap, not the embedded PDF. What I'd LIKE to do is create an image frame, insert the bitmap resized to fit the frame, and then resize and reposition the frame AND the bitmap until the map is back where it was. Am I out of luck here?
