hi jaygee
I have a file created in Photoshop at with the following dimensions:
10.75" wide, 4.125" height, 350 PPI
…so the real resolution of your image is something like 3762×1444 pixels.
I save this file in photoshop as PDF
why?
if it's an image, you should use an image format (.tif, .jpg, .psd, .png…)
When I import the image into Scribus, it always comes up grainy and at 72PPI
what value do you read in
'extras' → 'manage images' → 'layout' → 'effective dpi'?
(unfortunately even scribus calls this
'dpi' instead of
'ppi'…)
how does the final .pdf from scribus look like? (resolution ok?)
the wiki article about image resolution is good to tell you the difference between the source resolution of an image file (which is in pixels) and the print or display resolution (which is in pixels per inch).
but the article mixes ppi and dpi (like many program user interfaces – like scribus – do) and it contains an error (or at least an important omission) in the final part – and it supports the old myth of the standard 300ppi requirement, which may be a good rule of thumb, but not a real standard.
