the details might depend on the version of scribus you're using.

but the basics are the same:

  • you should have "Content palette" somewhere (or a properties palette with an "image" section)
  • you can double click on an image frame and move around the image inside of it.
  • or you can press the "e" key to enter the edit mode and move the image around.
  • currently, i'm not aware of any way to scale the image (inside of the frame) with the mouse, but you can scroll the percentage in the horizontal / vertical scale in the dimensions part of the image properties (in the Properties or Content palette...)

Beginner Talk / Image croping and scailing!
Last post by Carl_bach - June 14, 2025, 06:58:47 PM
I have downloaded the software onto a Mac using an M1 Pro.

Having had enough of Mac's no right to repair and other rubbish, I'm looking to go Linux, so I'm trying out software that I think can replace Affinity Suite. I'm a freelance designer, and I dumped Adobe and more for Affinity a couple of years ago. I would stick with Affinity in the future, but they don't release for Linux.

I have been on YouTube to watch some tutorials.

It appears that to crop an image inside an image box you should open properties and go to image. There is no image inside the properties panel. Am I doing something wrong, has the software changed, or is it because I'm using a Mac?

Can anyone advise?

Many thanks.

I bought this book and have the same opinion. Well done, with nice tactile feeling too. The author is pleasant to communicate with.

Layout Issues / Alternating Left-Right page fo...
Last post by SciFi - June 13, 2025, 09:00:25 AM
I have created a .pdf attached of what I'm trying to find and I hope Scribus will allow me to create. I would like to create a template/theme where each left side page of a book has a column of text situated closer to the spine, thus its right side, and each right facing frame has its text on the spine side, or left of the page.

Like a program I had many years ago, I'd like to be able to drag an image over the pasted text and have the text automatically move aside and reformat the remaining text pages.

Please tell me it is so!

A little bit better: Going by way of .docx. Still not getting the graphic separators; I can put them in by hand if I have to but I'd really like to find a way to automate that. Especially for my own books, I use a lot of "short cuts" when I write.

By The Way, what's this thing about Scribus putting auto-generated text frames all the way down at the bottom of the screen, not associated with any page?

All right, a little bit better this time, but I still lose every bit of the formatting, including the small caps at the start of each section, the separators, the indents, and more. Might as well just start from square one with a raw .txt file. I was hoping to not have to duplicate efforts.
