hi abi

this looks really strange. i have never seen something like that. when i place cmyk images (usually .kra or .tiff, but just tested with .jpg as well), they look correct on screen and export correct.
what file format is it in your case?

if this happens with different images, you should file a bug report with an affected .sla file and the used image.

...perhaps they might consider adapting another open-source print engine. If I take the PDF created by Scribus and try to print it with a PDF viewer, or to print directly from Scribus, the output comes out about 70%.

forget about printing direct from the .sla file! but your .pdf file shows the correct size. when this doesn't print do it's size, it's not scribus' fault. in this case, there's no scribus related print engine involved.

Scripts and Plugins / The CMYK image shows all wrong...

Last post by abi - Today at 07:24:08 AM

When importing an CMYK image into Scribus

Attached screenshot of actual image on left when viewed in any Image Viewer.

When we import this into Scribus - its shown on right in attachment where all the colors are messed up.

If someone can please help with which color management profile should be set. Attached another screenshot with the current Color Management setting.

Thank you

...Should this count as a "bug" worthy of reporting, or at least an official feature request?

hard to tell – as long as we don't see what scribus does wrong.
your presented file looks almost correct. but there's still am offset of 1/32" from the folding line to the middle of the page. if it's just that what you 'tweak' by libreoffice, you should work with a central guide to resolve it.

how would you describe a bug?
what feature would you like to have?

I'm afraid I'm not enough of a techie to really suggest what to do, although perhaps they might consider adapting another open-source print engine. If I take the PDF created by Scribus and try to print it with a PDF viewer, or to print directly from Scribus, the output comes out about 70%. But if I put that same PDF into LibreOffice Draw and print it from there, even without editing, it comes out the correct full size. My current workaround.

Was having fun this evening re-imagining your layout. Use them if you like.

I used a couple of your ideas. May incorporate others next week. Here's this week's final PDF. Unfortunately, I once again had to transfer the Scribus layout to LibreOffice Draw and "tweak" it to get it to output properly. I tried about fifteen different combinations of printer settings before throwing in the towel in Scribus.

Thanks! Not bad, not bad at all.

I'll be going with a near variant of my original design for the rest of this Advent season (consistency, y'know)...but I'm going to save this for future use. Thanks again!

Linux / Scribus 1.7.0 Flatpak

Last post by tim_occ - December 04, 2024, 09:54:57 PM

Hi all,

I made a Scribus 1.7.0 devel flatpak version*.
Currently, it was a first test to get familiar with flatpak, flatpak-builder and the whole process.

You can download the flatpak file here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1XzOHcQyW-GHjv26mqjWSZR0-xkzKY3oc

Install with:

Code Select Expand

flatpak install scribus_170_devel.flatpak

If you want to build the flatpak by yourself, you can check out the repo:
https://codeberg.org/Scribus/scribus-flatpak-devel


Have in mind, deploying a flatpak like this is not recommended. This flathub doesn't support nightly build we have to host our own infrastructure. Currently, I'm playing around with some CI systems to build nightly test versions, but it still requires some platform to deploy the flatpak. Right now, I did a manual build and just upload it to Google Drive.

DISCLAIMER
*) It is not the svn version. It based on the code hosted on https://codeberg.org/Scribus/scribus
In other words: It contains experimental features that are not reviewed and accepted by the core devs.

Even if my PDF reader is faulty, I would think that I should be able to output the file correctly to a local network printer direct from Scribus.

Unfortunately, printing directly from Scribus probably have more issues than using a PDF viewer. There has even been suggestions to remove printing completely from Scribus because it is not very reliable.

I don't even know how printing from Scribus handles bleed and Trimbox... I have never printed from Scribus.
