Hi Gustavo:

Following this post:

I changed our workflow. We no longer use the separate
plug-in. We do use colour management in Scribus, using
the ICC profile ISOnewspaper30v4. We export to PDF
1.3.

There didn't seem to be any noticeable decline in
quality. 

Here's a PDF where the images - including the adverts,
which are all created in The Gimp - underwent CMYK
separation through the Separate plug-in:

And here's one where RGB JPGs were used, with active
colour management in Scribus:

We were happy enough to decide to stop using Separate.

All the best,

David
