Scribus Video Tutorial - Part 4 - Text around an image 2 of 2

[@williamstapp3882]

An excellent set of tutorials: they moved me from zero to "up and running" in less than an hour. Thank you so much.

[@jadaynpally1189]

Thank you for these videos. I am new to Scribus and these were very well informed.

[@LavenderRain24]

I'm pleased I found these videos of yours. Very easy to follow and understand.

[@JustMarkHere]

Great stuff Kevin, clean, clear and to the point!

[@KevinPughCM]

If you found this video useful please leave feedback and give it a thumbs up! It would be nice to know what you think...

[@AaronTMartin]

This will definitely come in handy. Again, great tutorial! Thanks for posting!

[@Morna777]

Love your tutorials. Working through them in order. Just a quick note: In 1.4.2, columns is in the "text" pane of the Properties box (took me forever to figure out what was wrong).

[@AlphaMaxLearning]

Very useful for my project. Your explanation was also clear and easy to follow. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much, Sir Pugh. You are really a good help.

Great video; I like your slow, warm voice! Thanks. I have a question: small-time publisher, for 1st 2 book projects have used graphic artist- it's been expensive and to be honest, humanly complicated (though good results). Thinking of doing it myself, so InDesign/Acrobat (I can buy at student price) or Scribus. Can Scribus do it & particularly can it produce PDF which will satisfy professional printer? 300€ investment for Adobe is a lot but it's the complexity of use that worries me with Adobe!

Thanks Kevin! Unfortunately I don't have GIMP as yet so tried using photoshop to make the png and couldn't get it to work....shouldn't a png work whether it was created in GIMP or photoshop?

[@sandravanbelle9006]

Thx! Very clear and easy to follow. But when i print or take an printview, i don't get the textflow like on the screen. On the sreen it is OK (contourline). But when i print it, the text wraps around the frame. ???

[@sandravanbelle9006]

ON PDF it is also oK.

Thanks Kevin, this tutorial helped answered one of my questions :o) Cheers!

I have installed GIMP and as a stand alone it works, but when I right click and choose "edit image" through Scribus it sais to me that Gimp is not installed... Is there any way I can fix this?

[@AsgarthaWitch]

Thank you Kevin amazing tutorials, would love to see more. The only thing with open source, is that you have to download a lot of other stuff... For example Gimp, then Gimp asks for XQuartz in order to even start!,.... Then Scribus needs ghostscript in order to print preview which I cannot install so far, and this thing is a bit upsetting. I wonder, why dont they make a version of the programme with everything in? Its all open source for God's sake anyway!!!!

[@mtdjcastro367]

Thank you very much... this is such a great help! :)

When you are editing the image, Dracula has a blue face. But when you view the image in print preview, Dracula has a white face. When you print, will the face be white or blue? How can you retain the blue coloring?

[@KevinPughCM]

No you cannot rotate an image inside a shape; you need to edit the image in Gimp. They plan to implement this for version 1.5. Fortunately for now, however, editing in Gimp via a right click and "edit image" is very quick and easy - so not a huge time loss... My solution is to rotate the whole frame in Scribus using the X,Y,Z Properties tab to determine the exact rotation required, then simply edit the image to this amount of rotation in Gimp.

does this export out in anything but PDF

[@SophiaMarie-s3j]

how where did u download GIMP??

[@jeffthepoet7]

Hi Kevin, I get a "warning: The program GIMP is missing" I read online ways to use GIMP by going to File-Preferences- external tools-image processing tool-name of executable: GIMP, but no go. Any tips? Thank you.

[@chrismelia7827]

+jeffthepoet7 Jeff, maybe a little late for you, but just check that you have the Gimp program installed ( or just reinstall it), you can get the program here: www.gimp.org/

[@driverbob]

I installed Gimp on my computer, but Scribus still says it is missing.

[@LavenderRain24]

Have you tried turning your computer off then on again? Sometimes that works and then Scribus may recognise that you've installed it. Just a suggestion :)
