Hi Craig Thanks for the input. I understand but was (and am) too frustrated to think about the subject heading. I just copied the files I extracted from profiles.zip into the .scribus/profiles directory (which is a hidden directory in my home directory). However, I still don't see any color management options.
What do I do now? I want to use the color management and actually see the print quality.
