I don't know anything about CM on WinXP, maybe you can install a specific program or an add-on to do this. But in Scribus the logic way is to go into 'File-->Preferences' and scroll down the options (General/Document/...) and see if the ColorManagement option is present. You'll probably have to activate it, but that is of no use unless you have some decent ICC-profiles on your system. You can google for "icc adobe profiles" or similar to get some generic ones.
CM is not specificially a Scribus thing, CM should be done system wide; the obvious first device to control with CM is the monitor (and you may have some surprises!). But CM is a sort of black magick until one understands what it does for the OS, the profiles are device-dependent and the devices (monitor/printer/etc...) are not stable over time; meaning that for accurate CM you have to make your own profiles and/or get some from your printshops. There are many pages on CM on the web. It's really like plunging into a deep pool... Hope I'm not telling too much crap here... :-/ Cheers, Sveinn ? Felli Thomas Kratz wrote: > Which window???
