With CMYK images, do not even bother with PDF/X-3, it is 100% RGB color in 1.2.x . If your printer does support PDF/X-3, that is wonderful, but that tif needs to be converted to RGB and tagged with a suitable profile, like Adobe RGB. > > 2.

I would need to see the documents in question to understand what is going on. If possible, please file a bug on bugs.scribus.net and attach the files in question.
