Fwd: [Scribus] Converting graphics to CMYK with free software tools

[Kai-Uwe Behrmann]

Axel,

the profiles should be no problem as lcms see them everyday.

Can you bring your image on web for interessted people to have a look at?
Is it a multilayered tiff?
(Boudewijn and others: hope it is ok for you with my interesst here)

regards
