How? In Scribus? I see no tool for that. I have Scribus pointed to my image conversion app I use. Actually, this is what I am trying avoid, having to resize each and every image to fit a particular image frame. If all the frames were going to be the same size, it would not be such a big deal. I could batch resize and be done with it. Also, you say "resize each image to the size you use in you book". But, I cannot determine what size that needs to be. I can find no pixel sizes for the image frames. When I resize I do so by % or pixel the width/height I need. I have yet to find a way to see what the dimensions of an image frame are in pixels. Am I missing that somewhere? The only option I see right now it resize all the images *close* to what I think I will need, but slightly over. If I then need a larger one it could be done manually, working with the original. But, I still think being to determine the pixel dimensions of an image frame would be very helpful.
