Hi, First, you should consider joining the mail list directly. Second, you need good profiles installed and a decent monitor profile to make color management work. Explanations: http://docs.scribus.net/index.php?lang=en&page=cms Just installing littlecms and a few profiles is not a magic bullet however. It requires some learning how to use CMS correctly. Knowing from experience the I/O bottlenecks in some parts of Cygwin(not Cygwin's fault), I would expect enabling CMS to really slow Scribus down in parts. The Win32 build is progressing - still not enough is finished to release yet, guaranteed it will be a more pleasant experience on win32 :-) Peter
