Hello i looked at the Help about color management settings and cant find satisfying explanations.
The settings dialog lists various profile settings are about CMYK and RGB. I translate them here from french so it could be slightly different : # CMYK images : asks for a CMYK profile Is that the profile for CMYK inserted images ? Does it mean ALL provided images should have this same profile ? When my files have different internal profileS, which profile should i choose ? Or should we convert all images to a same profile before providing them to scribus ? Does the correct behaviour depends on the PDF-produced version choice 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5 ? Is there a simpler choice where i dont have to convert all images to a same CMYK profile ? # CMYK colors : asks for a CMYK profile What use is that setting ? Is that related to "spot colors" for marketing and advertising professionals and i shouldnt care this as a book editor because i'm not interested in exact pantone truthfullness for charter or logos and all i care is nice looking photographs. # Printer : also asks for a CMYK profile This is the printer profile. (FOGRA39 in my case) # RGB images # RGB colors Same. # About the UI The checkboxes enable to choose - activate color management When this is checked : -- black point balance -- simulate on screen When this is checked : --- convert to printer colors --- display out of gamut colors Does "simulate on screen" simulate anything when "convert to printer colors" is not checked ? Maybe this enables only the "display out of gamut colors" choice ? (and also i'm curious to know : Why is there a black point balance and not a white point balance as usual ?)
