Hello folks, I don't know very well how to use/set/etc. colors. But, of course, I do know what does RGB or CMYK mean ;). I want to create document (output file could be pdf or postscript, but having different pages in another eps files isn't what I want to achieve) with CMYK color profile and using only 2 "main" colors - magenta and black, not even 1% of cyan and yellow. I've created this "gray and magenta" document, used some cmyk (also M and K only) and grayscale graphics inside, and put text in "pure" magenta - surprice, the text is red! I turned on "Print view" and saw that the text in created ps is really only magenta (turned on "Show CMYK", when not displaying magenta - the text disappears). Then I exported document to pdf (1.4)- the text is red and it prints red (the images are OK, only grayscale and "magenta-scale"). I'm not even sure if colors in pdf are in CMYK (there could be RGB pdfs, right? don't even know specification of the format ;), don't know how Scribus exports to pdf), generated eps graphic is OK, only M and K. I have color management unactivated, but I have some icc profiles installed, so I can activate it.
The color I used for the text is 0% cyan, 100% magenta, 0% yellow, 0% black; I used in other place also color 0%,87%,0%,21% and 0%,59%,0%,0%. My Scribus version is 1.3.3.12 (1.3.3.12.dfsg-1ubuntu2) on Ubuntu 8.10. So tell me, please, how to create CMYK pdf, that uses only colors I want it to use, not the colors Scribus thinks I want... :P (or ps file, but AFAIK Scribus can only exports its documents to eps graphics). I hope my English and my questions is understandable ;). Thank you for your answers and, I hope, not beating me for 'unprofessionalism' ;). Silmeth
