Beginner Talk / Re: where to put .icc file on ...
Last post by drking - May 27, 2023, 11:02:44 AM
Thank you. My worry about following online instructions for adding profiles to Windows has been that I'm adding a profile for Scribus, not for Windows which might start adjusting my monitor colour profiles for all I know. It turns out you can also right-click the icc file and Windows will 'install' it, whatever that means.

What I've actually done is to simply copy the .icc file into
C:/Windows/system32/spool/drivers/color

and Scribus has found it. I guess Win10 might offer it as an option if I ever try to adjust my monitor colours, but I'm hoping that otherwise it is harmless.

Thanks for your help

On Windows Vista or 7, go to the Windows Control panel > Color management > All Profiles > Add

This  should be the same on win 10..

check here and see if this resolves the issue

Yeah that's about it. I'm actually pending an answer from an advisor, though don't yet have an appointment. I guess it depends on the donation amount :)

Seriously though. I'd love to hear from the Scribus development team about this. 

Is it because dealing with donations is a pain in the ass when it comes to taxes? Something else? :)

Thank you, but I'd found that. There are path options for
Documents
Scripts
Document Templates
with an active 'Change...' button
but the Profiles path 'Change...' button is greyed out (on my Win10 PC) and therefore cannot be clicked. And the path is not shown.

Presumably there is a specific Win10 folder somewhere, undocumented in Scribus currently

Thanks

You should be able to put them where ever you like for scribus.check the preferences/paths in the window that opens you can make a change there.

So you are overlaying text on these images? or do you mean that each of the images are a mix of  photos and text?

hi hugogogo

it should work according your settings under 'preferences' → 'item tools' → 'images' → 'scaling' (for existing .sla files under 'document setup' → 'item tools' → 'images' → 'scaling'...)
and – yes, there are situations where i prefer a 100% scaling...

Beginner stuff:

https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Getting_and_installing_ICC_profiles  says:
To install additional ICC profiles
..
    On Windows Vista or 7, go to the Windows Control panel > Color management > All Profiles > Add
    On Windows 2000, the correct location is C:\WINNT\System32\spool\drivers\color, and on Windows XP or later C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\drivers\color.

erm, my installation of Scribus is on a Win10 PC. Can anyone help? Thanks!
