You can now choose the version required for a particular project upon import.

Hi Greg,


It's a forward-looking technology that makes colour exchange a lot easier. You'll find an introduction to CxF3 here: https://www.xrite.com/en/page/cxf-color-exchange-format. I suggest you read at least the White paper.


As was the case with PDF/X-3 and HLC support, Scribus is an early adapter and will serve as a reference implementation for the new DIN SPEC "Open Colour Communication".
