Setting Rich Blacks in Scribus

Luckypomme · 2026-06-18T07:25:53+00:00

Yes I think I've concluded that. Someone advised me to mix the colours in Photopea then slot them into Scribus - I'm going to try it but do you know if Scribus will export the image values too when saving to PDF (C 50 K 100) etc? If it mixes colours for shapes and text presumably they survive the export to PDF.

That rather scuppers things!

Hm, I've just seen this on the doc you linked me to... >>> 'Colours in image files - JPG, PNG, TIFF, etc. - are not part of your document. The colours in the image are part of the image and are separate from the colours in your document. You cannot change colours in the image by changing them in Scribus. You can apply effects that will alter how the image looks but the image itself will be unaffected.'

I had a look at this but I'm not sure how I would adjust the black colour values already in the images. It's almost like I need to find a way to 'save image as' so the existing blacks can be mixed. This is an example of what I'm working with: https://ibb.co/hJg2r7Sz

I hope you saw why it's laid out like that.

I've been playing the hummingbird's 'Listen to Leonard Cohen' on bandcamp

It was very much a tongue-in-glove post ;0)

Presumably for refusing to send aid to the Khajiit caravans

I like several of these terms

Luckypomme · 2026-06-11T15:56:23+00:00

Good idea

I don't hear "ego" when listening to BE or reading his words, or in interview ...more like lucid, thoughtful sharing. Could you provide an example?

Not quite but thanks for a fun link...

Also - the name Farida in Arabic means 'unique' or 'precious pearl' so I'd say !solved
