Er, I'm talking about FM screening.  It's a pretty common method 
of generating continuous tone.  All I'm trying to do is optimize 
the file for the output type to make sure that I get the best

Except that other people on this list have been showing me ways 
to do this.

And part of it is that I'm new to Scribus, and I wanted to learn

sort of repeated precise work fairly frequently, I wanted to 
know how what sort of timesaving techniques I could use.
