Hi there, first of all I want to thank you for the great work. I used scribus to create a wedding newspaper, 36 pages in total. All with free and open source software! I would not be able to create it in the same quality without the complete toolset (GIMP, Scribus!, Fedora).
So and here comes my question: I exported my newspaper to pdf with colors set to CMYK/printer. After looking at the results the colors seem to have gained brightness and lost saturation. In total they don't look as nice as in the (digital) original or if i set the colors to screen/monitor/RGB. Ok so far no problem, since i thought after printing it looks the same or at least similar as on screen. Well, but it doesn't. I printed it at a german company and the printing result looks extremely similar to the exported CMYK-pdf and thus are a to bright and don't have enough saturation. In images: http://mumpitz.bplaced.net/RGBpdf.png (Setting: color: screen/monitor) http://mumpitz.bplaced.net/CMYKpdf.png (Setting: color: printer) http://mumpitz.bplaced.net/photographedprint.png photogrpahed print (!) I am wondering if there are any options/parameters I could change/tweak to generate different CMYK-pdf exports, since the result is very close to the cmyk pdf. So I want to add a bit saturation and less brightness. I am not allowed to include any color-profiles. I am not afraid of going deep into scribus, even not adjusting some parameters and do a recompile although an easier method is prefered :-). Currently under Fedora 9, with scribus 1.3.4 Any help or suggestions is appreciated! Thanks & Greetings mumrel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
