images importing with changes to colour and layers

Previous topic - Next topic

I am trying to import an image and Scribus is changing the image dramatically!

I am importing an file showing grasses (made with a stamp in photoshop) and the first time it showed all the grass as being bright ORANGE (it is green in reality). I went back to the file in photoshop, flattened it, saved it as tiff and re-imported it, only this time it is missing two of the layers- i.e. the bottom half!

Every time I go back to photoshop, the image is exactly as it should be, green and complete.

Importing images should be a no-brainer, something I have done a million times so I am not sure where I am going wrong...

hi karela

i don't see a way to help without access to your document. (.sla and placed image file)

Here is the tiff that I imported as well as what it currently looks like in Scribus. It should be a green gradient down to the logos. (which are a bit messy because they are still a work in progress).

can't seem to upload a tiff, so here is a jpeg to show what it should look like!

hi karela

you uploaded the .sla file – but none of the images...

utnik

edit: with the .jpg file it looks ok. see screenshot!

Our replies must have crossed! Sorry, it took me a while to figure out that I couldn't upload the actual image because it was a .tiff.

utnik

you could upload .tiff files as .zip archives...

Karela

Is it clear from the jpeg or would it be better to upload the tiff as a zip?

utnik

hi karela

take a look at my screenshot and tell me what's wrong. i don't see anything unusual (except of the fact that the .jpg comes with a resolution as low as 34 ppi...)

Karela

Utnik, your screenshot is beautiful....but does it look anything like what you see in my .sla file?

The low resolution is because before I noticed that it was not possible to upload .tiffs I thought that the problem was that my file was too large, so I made it very low resolution.

this is a screenshot of your .sla file with the placed (and enlarged) .jpg file – i don't have any of the other images...

for a real check of the issue you could upload the whole project ('file' → 'collect for output' then compress the whole folder to a .zip file...)

utnik

Karela

Collected for output and zipped. I took off the logos because they made it too heavy.

hi karela

still no other problem than the low resolution. at least i'm not able to spot it – sorry!

Utnik, on the screen shot that you sent before with the jpeg and the one you sent now there is a huge difference between the two files- the one with the jpeg shows the image accurately and the one with the tiff has the bottom layers missing (the solid green gradient).

Here is the compressed tiff I am trying to import.

yes, there is a difference. but it's your file...
even in gimp or photoshop i can't find different layers, but an alpha channel wich cuts the bottom part – what do you expect?

(the screenshot shows photoshop cs4.)
