Would it be worth trying a development version?
As a new user, I thought I'd be better off with a "stable" version. I should say that I've found Scribus pretty good, as a new user, although it was a bit of a steep learning curve (but the learning curve for GIMP was even steeper - I had to learn that more or less at the same time, to figure out transparent images).īTW, I notice people seem to talk a lot about the 1.5.x versions of Scribus. I tried moving them to the same level, but it didn't change the effect I was seeing. I should say that at first, I had the text and the images on different levels. The text just went behind the image, semi-visible because of the transparency, but obviously not the effect I was going for.įor the time being, as I needed the flyers PDQ, I've just separated the images from the text, which is "ok", but not as neat looking as I'd hoped for.Īre there any obvious things I could be missing here?ĭid I need to link or group the image to the text? I don't remember doing that in my previous (successful) attempt at this kind of thing (though my memory could be faulty). frame, bounding box, and contour, but none of them worked. I tried all 3 options in the "shape" menu for the image, i.e. png's, but I don't think it's the transparency that can be causing the problem. The photos were square, and I assumed it would be a piece of cake to get the text to flow around them, and was surprised when it wasn't. However, I then wanted to produce a 2-sided "flyer" version of the A4 poster I'd just created, adding a bit more info and different photos. I'd successfully flowed my text around a "circular" image, and was feeling quite proud of myself.
Scribus text flow around image how to#
I learned how to flow text round a complicated shaped image through Kevin Pugh's (old but v.good) Youtube tutorials, if you know them (he was using an older Scribus, but still basically ok) I'm almost embarrassed to be posting this question, because up till last night, I thought I had this sussed out.
