Craig When I replied I just hit the reply button forgetting to check the email address that is why it went directly to you. So, I am reposting it. This is just to say to everyone that my problem with color management has been solved simply by reconfiguring Scribus. I thought, it would be helpful to insert a brief note in the install instructions about the steps of enabling color management in Scribus. It simple, I can see it now, but unless you are a developer, not at all obvious how to do it.
