Hi to all, I'm new to the list. I post here for more clarifications before (eventually) fill a bug report.
I try to use scribus for a photo poster composition. The printer supports only bitmap files. The printer supports a resolution of 250 dpi. The poster is 820x500 mm =~ 32.2x19.6 in So the image export for the poster is around 8000x5000. On Debian Gnu/Linux with scribus 1.2.0.rc1 export jpeg quality 100% resolution 250 dpi the output is (from identify) xxx.jpeg JPEG 4921x3000 DirectClass 7.2mb 0.000u 0:01 On Debian Gnu/Linux with scribus 1.2.1 export jpeg quality 100% resolution dpi 250 size 100% the output is (from identify) xxx.jpeg[1] JPEG 1417x863 DirectClass 912kb 0.000u 0:01 On Debian Gnu/Linux with scribus 1.2.1 export jpeg quality 100% resolution dpi 250 size 600% the output is (from identify) xxx.jpeg JPEG 8504x5185 DirectClass 17.5mb 0.000u 0:01 Can someone explain this behaviour? Unfortunately in all cases the quality of the image is far from optimal both for images and text... The text written with 12 pt font is quite unreadable... If I open the image in Gimp and rewrite the same text the result is perfect for the text. I try to export a ppm and png with the same result. I try to export in pdf and use convert pdf -> jpg with poor result. Export pdf, print as ps with acroread, convert ... poor result. Searching around I found only this bug report http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=1436 that is a feature request for define the image output in pixel and the pixel as new native unit. Could someone tell me where I'm wrong? And which is the right way to export high quality images? Thanks in Advance, Daniele
