Animador 2D, ilustrador, diseñador de personajes y editor de audio y video.Excellent and professional free product
I used this tool for the first time when I was asked to do an animation book layout for a movie project. Since this was not the kind of work I usually do I didn't want to spend a large amount of money in a commercial software like InDesign. I was really happy to see that this open tool had everything I needed to get a professional result. It has many functions for text and image editing and was also easy to understand at a basic level, so it didn't take me too long to start working with my first layout. Scribus can also be integrated with Gimp, a more complete open tool for image editing.

Miguel Angel A.
Instructor Professor at Universidad Central de VenezuelaAn excellent open tool for publication and poster layout.
The best thing about Scribus I would say is it's complete support for CMYK color management capabilities. This is a feature that's sort of difficult to find in open source packages. It's also very easy to understand and use, with most of it's features being usable from the toolbar and all the object editing functions placed in context menus.
It's export function is also very good, with support for placing standard crop, alignment and color calibration marks.
Scribus is also extensible with custom Python plugins.
