Cannot import TIF from Lightroom Cloud photo export

I'm new to Scribus and trying to print some photos exported from Lightroom CC. My ultimate goal is to export the files as PDFs via Scribus for printing. I've exported 16-bit TIFFs from Lightroom CC with the following settings:
* Image type: TIF
Dimenstions: custom (long side 5.630 inches, 300 ppi)
* Color space: AdobeRGB
* Bit depth: 16 bit
* no compression
* no output sharpening

but Scribus can't import the photos — the file is greyed out in the file selecting dialog. I tried using sips to clean the file metadata, but no success. Is Lightroom  embedding file metadata that Scribus doesn't support? Thank you!

I am using Scribus v1.6.3 and I'm on macOS 15.3.2 (24D81)

a.l.e

would you mind sharing a file that you can't import?

If it is greyed out in the file selector, I doubt it is due to the contents of the file. I would rather suspect the file extension or the file name, or maybe file system attributes.
