It was me on Scribus IRC channel. Indeed. That Solved my problem. But this workaround has pros and cons: - Adventage - It is possible to chain effects to tint picture to other spot color then just black (K). Talking about pure grayscale images. - Disadvantage - this procedure doesn't apply to pictures that are partially pure grayscale and partially colorized (example - pic that consists of two gradients one that goes from 0K to 100% and other field filled with red or whatever).
