Hi collegues,
just to share my recent discoveries with colour management in Scribus:
I had the problem of seeing totally different colours in the Scribus
working space from what I got when I exported my designs with the proper
ICC profile. (Check out the attached screen shot for reference!)
Maybe this sounds like obvious nonsense to you but I expected the colour
settings in the preference options to be relevant for exporting files.
It turns out they are only relevant for the representation of colours
during the creative process in Scribus itself since the adjustments for
PDF export (for example) are managed in the export window only.
Therefore I discovered that my first idea that I should define a default
export colour profile in the preference window at the colour management
section was bogus.
So if your colour representation in Scribus seems to be off you can
adjust the colour management in the preference window without any fear
this might lead to bad results when you export your design. These two
aspects of colour management are totally separated from each other.
Cheers,
Franz
