Hello,
My attempts at color management with photos on the Scribus page are not
producing good results. Currently the closest screen to printer comparison
exists with color management turned off. Whenever I apply the ICC profiles to
the Scribus printing process the color of the photos are never close, usually
they have a very strong orange cast. I don't have an ICC profile for the
camera but have tested using a fallback such as the standard Adobe/Apple. I
do have one for the monitor and for the printer, an HP Color LaserJet 3700,
both an RGB and a CMYK one (I don't quite understand this). I don't expect a
lot, in terms of photo quality, from the printer but thought I could get a
closer color match than I currently do. I can only think that I'm doing
something horribly wrong as, admittedly, I don't have a great grasp of this
subject. Assistance much appreciated.
Thanks.
Chris
