i kept in account to split the magazine in 2 parts, but i think that 16 pages are not too much, and when i was loading text in the 8th page i already had that speeding down.
i'll try to use less quality images for the laying out and only at the end loading the hi-res ones. using my brother pc (core2duo e7300 with 2GB DDR2) could be a solution? thanx simone 2008/12/3 Gregory Pittman <gpittman at iglou.com> > Simone Ambrosini wrote: > >> Hi, I'm using scribus to lay out our school magazine.
