<h2>Working with Images</h2>
See <a href="WwFrames.html">Working with Frames</a> to learn about Image Frame frame creation and manipulation. Note that the image frame shows as a red border with small square handles at the corners and at the midpoints of each side. Diagonals in black are drawn to indicate that it is an image frame. Note that these small square handles disappear when the frame is locked.
<p>The quickest way to load an image into the frame is to right-click on the frame, and select <b>Get Image</b> from the Context menu. Pressing Ctrl+D or menu <i>File > Import > Get Image</i> will also work. A file dialog will appear, showing the image types that Scribus can import, which include bitmap formats TIFF, PNG, JPG and GIF as well as vector format PS (PostScript) and PDF files, which will be converted to bitmaps. Note that after import the image may only partly show. We'll see below in <i>Properties: Image</i> how to adjust scaling and positioning of the image in the frame.

<p>In many cases, we may have a more or less set frame size we wish to squeeze an entire image into, in which case choosing <b>Scale to Frame Size</b> (or <b>Adjust Image to Frame</b> from the Context menu) makes sense. Without checking <b>Proportional</b>, the image is simply stretched to fit the frame and may be quite distorted. You should find the combination of scaling to frame size (proportional) and then <b>Adjust Frame to Image</b> from the Context menu very useful for making a frame exactly the right size for your image.

A selected frame can enter Edit Contents mode by clicking the Edit Contents icon on the toolbar or double-clicking on the frame (keyboard: E). The advantage of this is that you can see immediately the appearance of your additions or edits. It is a bit slower, since screen refreshes are involved. You can use Properties to change the font, style, and other characteristics such as linespacing.

<p>Within Scribus there are several methods to create, import and edit solid colors and color sets. Moreover, Scribus has a well developed tool, the Color Wheel plug-in, which helps with creating color harmonies and even testing them for people with color blindness.</p>
<h3>Why Color Sets?</h3>
<p>The answer to the question in the headline is closely related to the answer to a more basic question, namely: “What is a color?” The truth is, there is no simple answer to that question, as a “color” can be described in hundreds of ways, for example as a combination of wavelengths, a combination of color values within a certain “color model”, as a category in a framework based on aesthetical rules etc. As a result, many different so-called “color models” have been developed over the course of time, many of which have become part of a discipline called “color science”, a science that is itself a “meta-science”, as it requires input from many different disciplines, including physics, neuro-science, biology, mathematics, engineering, and even art, artisanry or literature. “Color” is actually one of a few cases, in which artists like Johann Wolfgang von Goethe or Albert Henry Munsell contributed significantly to scientific progress.</p>
-<p>Users of graphics-related programs like Scribus shouldn’t be required to learn the ins and outs of color science, although some theoretical knowledge doesn’t hurt. On a more basic level, however, some awareness of the issues mentioned above certainly helps a lot when working with colors, and the caricature below may be a first step to understand what it’s all about:</p>

<p>As is often true with good cartoons, there is some relevant truth behind it, in that there are different levels of differentiating and categorizing colors, which are often highly subjective. Imagine two persons, one in the “Girls” column, the other in the “Boys” column, talking on the phone about a color choice for a project – it will be virtually impossible, since both the (subjective) color names and the color perception are quite different.

While some of these standards have niche applications, like military vessels or cables, others are considered to be “general purpose” color standards. The Scribus Team has collected and will continue to collect as many of those standards as possible, at least if they aren’t defined as a subset of other color “standards” like Pantone. We hope that this feature will facilitate the use of Scribus in government agencies.</p>

<p>Another issue with JPEG files is that every time you open and edit them in an image editing program you will lose image data. So if you need to edit a JPEG file, save it in another format, like TIFF, before you start applying any changes.</p>
<p>Scribus supports a few other formats, but you should avoid them for serious print jobs. These are:</p>
<ul>
-<li><b>GIF:</b> The GIF format has been created for the early days of the world wide web. It uses compression and only permits a limited number of 256 colors. While it's possible to load a GIF image into an image frame, the format really has no place in professional page layout. This can get really ugly when you try to import a so-called “Animated GIF”. These GIFs work like a flip-book and are comprised of several images that will be subsequently displayed by a <i>broswer</i>. They have no place in professional printing.</li>

<li><b>BMP:</b> A bitmap format used by Windows and OS/2 for graphical user faces. Unlike GIF or XPM it can contain up to 32 bit per pixel and supports transparency. Due to its simplicity, the BMP format is wide-spread and can be read/written by most image editors. Unfortunately, the lack of a compression algorithm leads to comparatively huge file sizes, and BMP data may cause problems with commercial RIPs (Raster Image Processors).</li>
<li><b>If you are preparing a PDF or PostScript file for commercial printing, convert any of these file types to a more reliable format, like TIFF or PNG.</b></li>

<h3>Supported formats</h3>
<p>Here’s a short description of the vector formats currently supported by Scribus:</p>
<ul>
-<li><b>AI (Adobe Illustrator)</b>: The native format of Illustrator, or, more precisely, formats. Older versions of AI are basically EPS files that contain some additional features only used by Illustrator. As of Illustrator 9, AI is based on PDF, and, like its predecessor, adds some Illustrator-only information. AI import is still experimental but works very well in most cases. One of the major advantages of the AI import filter (and the EPS filter as well) is that Scribus will load spot colors in AI and EPS files correctly. If PDF-based AI files are opened directly (via <i>File > Open</i>), Scribus will also import AI/PDF layers.</li>

<li><b>PS (PostScript)</b>: A page description language created by Adobe Systems and the foundation of almost all modern print workflows. The PDF format is also derived from PostScript. Since PostScript files can contain more than one page, import may not deliver the expected result.</li>
<li><b>FIG (Xfig)</b>: This is the native format of the UNIX drawing veteran Xfig. While rarely used by designers, it’s ubiquitous in scientific environments like universities for technical drawings or diagrams. The format is well-documented, and import into Scribus works flawlessly.</li>

<p>If you delete an imported drawing, its colors won’t disappear from the color list automatically, as it’s difficult to determine whether they have been “mapped” or are being used by other objects. This is not a problem, because after deleting the drawing, you can open the color manager (<i>Edit > Colors</i>) and click “Remove Unused”, which will remove all colors that aren’t used by any item in your document.</p>
<p>An example for the usefulness of the color import is the “Replace Colors” feature. Imagine you are working with a vector logo that is supposed to appear in different colors in different documents. By using “Replace Colors”, you can work with one single source file. Import the logo into your document and replace one or more logo colors just as your specific document requires. And speaking of logos: These are often required to use a spot color. If you created or edited the logo in a program that doesn’t support spot colors, you can load the graphic into Scribus and use “Replace Colors” to replace a CMYK or RGB color with a spot color:</p><br>

The clear documentation and specs have helped the Scribus Team to create some useful import features, which will be enhanced in the future.</p>
<h4>Importing OpenOffice.org Writer and OpenDocument files</h4>

Images and drawings need to be saved separately outside of the Writer document and then each drawing or image can be imported individually. Thus, a compound Writer document with tables or charts will not import the latter. Tables, charts or other embedded objects, need to be placed into their own Draw file and exported as described below.</p>

Thus, a compound Writer document with tables or charts will not import the latter. Tables, charts or other embedded objects need to be placed into their own Draw file and exported as described below.</p>
<p>The single most important issue to take into consideration for hassle-free SXW/ODT import is well chosen usage of styles in Writer or any other ODT-compliant word processor. Doing so will greatly reduce the amount of time needed within Scribus to format and style text. Any special paragraph styles in your Writer or ODT file will automatically be imported into your existing Scribus document.</p>

<h4>Importing SXM and ODF formulas</h4>
<p>The most reliable way is to create a formula In OpenOffice.org Math and save it as SXM or ODF. Then open OpenOffice.org Draw and create a new file. Use <i>Insert Object > Formula</i>. You will have a tiny embedded square on Draw’s canvas. Next, open <i>Edit Object</i> from the context menu. Draw will now launch Math. In Math, select <i>Tools > Import Formula</i>, browse to your saved formula and save to close the file. The embedded formula is now editable as a vector object. Save this Draw file, then export as EPS and import into Scribus. The formulas and text will import as scalable vector items. This will result in formulas which will print with <b>very</b> high quality and no worries when exported as PDF. Saving the Draw file and attempting to import the Draw file with embedded objects will fail, as Scribus cannot access those objects directly.</p>

-<h2>Short Words for Scribus</h2>
+<h2>Short Words</h2>
-<h4>What the Short Words Plug-in Does:</h4>
-<p>Short Words for Scribus is a special plug-in for adding non-breaking spaces before or after, so called, short words.</p>
-<p>These short words are specific to every language's typography rules, e.g. according to Czech, Polish, and Slovak typographical standards it is not allowed to leave one letter conjunctions at line ends, if the line contains more than 25 signs. A common issue are measure and weight units, where for obvious reasons non-breaking spaces should be put in-between the preceding numbers and the units. Last but not least, there are plenty of abbreviated academic degrees, military ranks etc, which should not be separated from their owners.</p>
-<p>Although Scribus team cannot individually address every one of these national standards, one of the Scribus core team developers, Petr Vaněk, decided to provide Scribus users with a plug-in, that can be easily customized to meet their specific needs.</p>
+<h3>What the Short Words Plug-in does:</h3>
+<p>“Short Words” is a plug-in for adding non-breaking spaces before or after certain abbreviations, e.g. between “25” and “km” or between “Dr.” and “Pittman”, to avoid a line break between both parts.</p>
+<p>The Scribus Team cannot address all of the different national or language-specific standards that should be applied to avoid a line break, but one of the Scribus Team members, Petr Vaněk, decided to provide Scribus users with a plug-in, that can be easily customized to meet their specific needs.</p>
-<h4>How it Works</h4>
-<p>The screen shot below shows a sample text containing a short word before applying non-breaking spaces.</p>
-<p><b>Text sample before executing Short Words</b></p>

-<p>The same text after applying non-breaking spaces. The red encircled word Mr jumped to the next line, because the normal space between Mr and Justice has been replaced by a non-breaking space.</p>

-<h4>How to execute Short Words</h4>
-<p>If you successfully installed the plug-in, go to the <code>Extras</code> menu and choose the <code>Short Words...</code> option:</p>

+<h3>Applying the “Short Words” mechanism</h3>
+<p>The “Short Words” plug-in is available via <i>Extras > Short Words</i> from the Menu Bar.</p>
+<table width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><img src="images/swdialog.png" alt="Short Words Dialog" title="Short Words Dialog" /></td></tr></table>
+<p>The “Short Words” dialog consists of two parts. The options in the upper section (“Apply unbreakable space to:”) allow for choosing between different ranges of adding non-breaking spaces:</p>
<ul>
-<li><strong>Selected frames</strong> - Apply non-breaking spaces to selected text frames</li>
-<li><strong>Active page</strong> - Apply non-breaking spaces to all frames of the current page.</li>
-<li><strong>All items </strong> - Apply non-breaking spaces to the whole document.</li>
-<li><strong>Replace defaults by user config</strong> - When the user config file exists you can choose if you want to append your config to the global configuration by unchecked button. You can replace predefined values with yours with checked button too.</li>
+<li><b>Selected frames</b> adds non-breaking spaces to all selected text frames.</li>
+<li><b>Active page</b> adds non-breaking spaces to all frames on the current page.</li>
+<li><b>All items</b> adds non-breaking spaces to the whole document.</li>
</ul>
-<h4>Configuration</h4>
-<p>Short Words for Scribus provides a system wide configuration file <code>scribus-short-words.rc</code>, which is usually located in the <code>$prefix/lib/scribus/plugins</code> directory (the actual directory depends on where you or your distribution installed Scribus). This configuration file is self explanatory, basically it contains a list of short words for a given language, preceded or followed by a space and separated by commas. The position of the space, before or after a short word, indicates to the plug-in, where the non-breaking space should be put. Every line with configuration settings has to start with the language it is meant for, e.g. en for English or cs for Czech:
+<p>The lower part (“Language Settings”) looks more simple, but is conceptually a bit more complicated. The default setting – ”Use Language from Style Definition” – means that Scribus will <b>either</b> use the system’s language settings, <b>or</b> the <a href="settings1.html#1">Scribus language settings</a>, <b>or</b> the language settings in a particular <a href="WwStyles.html">style</a>, and the latter will always override the former. If you uncheck the default, you can let Scribus apply the rules for another language, but, as is also true for system, Scribus and style settings, Scribus needs correct information about the language you want to use. If there’s no configuration for a particular language available, you need to create it yourself.</p>
+<h4>Configuring the Short Words Plug-in</h4>
+<p>The “Short Words” plug-in uses a system-wide configuration file called <code>scribus-short-words.rc</code>, which is usually located in the <code>$prefix/lib/scribus/plugins</code> directory (the actual directory depends on your operating system and/or where you or your distribution installed Scribus). This configuration file is almost self-explanatory: Basically, it contains a list of abbreviations for a given language, preceded or followed by a space and separated by commas. The position of the space, before or after an abbreviation, tells the plug-in where the non-breaking space will be added. Every line with configuration settings has to start with the language it is meant for, e.g. <code>en</code> for English or <code>cs</code> for Czech:
</p>
<pre>
-# English stuff START here
+# English starts here
en=Dr. ,Dr ,Mr. ,Mr ,Mrs. ,Mrs ,Ms. ,Ms ,Prof. ,Prof ,Rev. ,Rev ,
en= Kg, kg, g, mg, oz, lb, cwt, km, Km, m, cm, mm,
-# Czech short words START here
+# Czech starts here
## hanging conjunctions
cs=K ,k ,S ,s ,V ,v ,Z ,z ,O ,o ,U ,u ,I ,i ,A ,
## physics and math
cs= kg, g, m, cm, mm, l, hl, s, %,
</pre>
-<p>If you want to use self defined short words, e.g. for a new language, create your own configuration file with your own short words, and save the file as <code>scribus-short-words.rc</code> in the <code>~/.scribus</code> directory. <em>You can choose the plugin appends your configuration into the system one or just to replace and use it only itself.</em></p>
+<p>If you want to use customized “Short Words”, e.g. for a new language, you can create your own configuration with the appropriate data and add the content via copy and paste to the file <code>scribus-short-words.rc</code> in the <code>.scribus</code> folder in your home/user directory. You can also use the <a href="settings1.html#18">Scribus Preferences</a> to enter your configuration data directly.</p>

-<h4>A note on PDF Viewers:</h4>
-
-<p>One of the challenges with PDF in general is that
-Scribus creates high-end PDF files. Sometimes their features are beyond
-the capabilities of some open
-source viewers, while necessary for reliable
-commercial printing and only supported in commercial pre-press or DTP
-tools. Years of working with Scribus have led to the strongly
-held conclusion that the following viewers are the most reliable
-at displaying PS/EPS/PDF created by Scribus:</p>
-
-<ul>
-
- <li><strong>Adobe Reader 7.x or later</strong> – The best and
-sometimes the only choice for PDF viewing. Detailed notes and hints: <a href="toolbox1.html">Adobe Reader.</a> </li>
- <li><strong>GSview 4.8+</strong> with the latest version of
-Ghostscript available. This combination is your best choice for viewing
-EPS files, PS files and most PDFs. In addition, GSview has many other
-very useful capabilities with add-ons like <code>pstoedit</code> and <code>epstool</code>.
-For more detailed notes and hints: <a href="toolbox6.html">GSview</a>.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p><strong>If any other PDF or EPS viewer you choose cannot display
-PDFs from Scribus, but they do view properly in Adobe Reader, file
-a bug with the upstream author. It cannot be stressed this enough. In
-virtually all cases that have been tested, it is a limitation of the
-viewing
-application. Scribus PDFs are tested daily with specialist pre-press
-software to validate their adherence to the published PDF
-specifications.</strong></p>

Using a brushes metaphor on screen, it has some innovative and quite interesting features like the ability to emulate the way painting colors mix and dry on canvas, a filters gallery to display previews of each filter, adjustment layers, layer groups and tools to precisely manipulate brush strokes.

-<p><strong>Notes:</strong></p>
-<ul>
- <li>There is one limitation in the current 1.6.x Krita in the way resolution works when Krita writes an image to disk. Thus, Scribus will always interpret the resolution as 72 DPI, which is not usually high enough for good quality print, so rescaling may need to be done within Scribus. </li>
- <li>Krita is only available on BSD, Linux, MacOSX (via fink) and Unix. Krita 2 is expected to be available as a native Win32 application. </li>
- <li>For importing into Scribus, exporting Tiff from Krita with LZW compression should yield good results and Krita reliably embeds ICC profiles into the images to make color matching from print to screen much easier.</li>

<h2>SwatchBooker</h2>
-<p>Just like old habits die hard, many designers rely on color palettes from vendors like Pantone®, HKS®, Toyo® or others, and especially those that have been shipped with the drawing or design application they are used to for years, if not decades.</p>

-<h2>Other PDF Viewers</h2>
-<p>Another useful PDF viewer to use with Scribus is GSview which is a graphical viewer/front end to Ghostscript. The latest version (4.9) with Ghostscript 8.5+ work very nicely together allow you to convert PS to PDF, as well as view and convert EPS, PS and PDF files among other tools. GSview runs natively on Linux/Unix. OS/2 and Windows. More details are in <a href="gsview.html">GSview and Scribus</a>.</p>
-<p><strong>Kpdf 3.5+ / <a href="http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/">Xpdf</a> </strong> The most recent Kpdf in KDE 3.4 shows me the the developers "get it". Based on Xpdf 3.x it has many nice touches and seems to be a pretty fast renderer. I say this not as a KDE fanboy, but based on using quite a bit in comparison to the larger Adobe Readers. One other note, look through Settings and enable "aggressive" in the performance options. If you have the required memory, enabling this makes a big difference in loading larger or complex documents. You still might want Xpdf 3.02+ from Foolabs, as it includes some command line tools for converting PDFs to PS. To display properly embedded fonts with Xpdf in all PDFs, not just Scribus ones, you should read the Xpdf man page about setting up the fonts paths correctly via the .xpdfrc file. Otherwise, embedded fonts may not display properly. One known limitation is the inability to display transparency in Scribus generated PDFs.</p>
-<p>In KDE 4, <a href="http://okular.kde.org/">Okular</a>, the sucessor to KPDF is a versatile PDF viewer which also can view a number of different image formats like Tiff and PSD. </p>
+<h2>PDF/PostScript Tools</h2>
+<h3>PDF and PostScript Viewers</h3>
+<p>While <a href="toolbox1.html">Adobe Reader</a> is the most reliable PDF viewer, it is rightfully known as a resource hog, and it can’t display anything but PDF files. For a quick preview of PDF files some people may prefer a faster viewing program, and while there are many alternative PDF viewers, only two of them are recommended by the Scribus Team:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><a href="http://okular.kde.org/">Okular</a> has become the default document viewer in KDE 4. In terms of PDF feature support, Okular is suprisingly close to Adobe Reader, although it cannot handle color-managed CMYK PDFs reliably yet. What makes Okular even more interesting than its PDF support is the long list of file formats that can be opened and converted: PDF, PostScript, EPS, DjVu, DVI, G3 Fax, as well as many image formats.</li>
+<li>Another reliable viewer and converter is GSview, whose features will be described in a <a href="toolbox6.html">separate chapter</a></li>
+</ul>
+<h3>PDF Editors</h3>
+<p>PDF was and is designed as some kind of “electronic paper”, which means a PDF is not meant to be editable. But the more ubiquitous the PDF format became, the more use cases appeared, in which it made sense to edit “non-editable” files, e.g., last-minute corrections of spelling errors or the re-ordering of pages in a print workflow. The inventor of PDF, Adobe, took the lead and devoloped Acrobat, which is still the leading PDF editing program. However, since the PDF specification is open, others started to tinker as well, and today there are countless tools, closed source or open, that allow for editing PDF files. Below is a list of recommended FLOSS programs for PDF editing.</p>
+<ul>
+<li><a href="http://multivalent.sourceforge.net">Multivalent</a> and the <a href="http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk">PDF Toolkit (pdftk)</a> are both Java-based commandline utilities with countless options to manipulate PDFs.</li>
+<li><a href="http://pdfedit.petricek.net/index_e.html">PDF Edit</a> is a collection of Qt scipts to manipulate PDFs, but the scripts are hidden behind a graphical user interface, so editing PDFs works in a WYSIWIG (“What you see is what you get”) mode. PDF Edit allows for many direct changes to the content of a PDF file, including changes to text or colors, as well as removing content. The program is based on Qt3, but as of this writing, the developers are working on a port to Qt4.</li>
+<li><a href="http://jpdftweak.sourceforge.net">jPDF Tweak</a>, a Java program, has rightfully been called a Swiss army knife for PDFs. It uses the highly reliable iText library for PDF editing.</li><br>
+<table width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><img src="images/tb-jpdf.png" alt="jPDF Tweak" title="jPDF Tweak" /></td></tr></table><br>
+<li><a href="http://www.pdfsam.org">PDF Split and Merge (PDF SaM)</a> is an even more powerful tool than jPDF Tweak and has a proven track record in pre-press environments. PDF SaM is rather a tool for professionals, whereas beginners will probably be overwhelmed by its many options. Like jPDF Tweak, PDF SaM is a Java program, but in contrast to all other Java programs in this list, the language of the graphical user interface can be changed. and there are many translations available.</li>
+<li><a href="http://www.quantumelephant.co.uk/bookbinder/bookbinder.html">Bookbinder</a> is a PDF editor for beginners and simple tasks. Its main purpose is to re-order (and re-scale, if necessary) pages in a PDF file for booklet printing and similar tasks. Bookbinder is also written in Java.</li><br>

The exception to this is SVG exported from Adobe Illustrator, which often has Adobe only extensions included in the SVG file, thus only viewable in Adobe SVG viewers or applications.

One other hint for working with Inkscape SVG is the SVG model for working with text is far different than the PDF/PostScript model. (One of the few weak spots in the spec in my opinion.) Save text input and text effects for Scribus. Scribus does a very good job of offering you a multitude of text effects and it will output them faithfully. Scribus uses the freetype2 libraries and this gives you a wide range of effects.</p>

If a file does not seem to import correctly into Scribus, try saving as "Plain SVG" from within Inkscape.</p>
