Hello Peter It already took a lot off effort to get a CMS running on my Linux-Desktop (and to understand the whole CMS-background myself). And, as programs I use are able to handle it, I do use it. Dont like to go back to pre-CMS times, although I understand that an experienced graphical designer was and is able to handle programs and CYMK-color mixes very well without a CMS.
Thank you for the inkscape tip, I already had a look on it, lets see, if I'll finally do my work in inkscape. The point was, that i used OOdraw rather like a layout program than a drawing application (or a t least as a mixture of both), thats why I came to Scribus. In fact the one thing i really miss at the moment in Scibus (but might find out that there is a solution) is the ease to place graphical objects/pictures and do fast copy and past of one object on one single page. For example I use about 70 times the same little cherries picture on one page for a algebra working-card. This is done fairly quick in OOdraw, with scribus at the moment it seems to take a lot more time. (But as I wrote, I might find a solution for this, or find out, that i can do this quite fast in Scribus too). Well, but I still would like to get some answer to my first question ;-) Liebe Gr??e, Nikita Am Freitag, den 29.10.2010, 12:10 +0200 schrieb Peter Nermander: > > I'm still not sure, whether I might go back to use OOdraw, because some > > tasks are just easier to do, but for ColorManagement-reasons, > > pdf-possibilities, accuracy and so on I hope I can do it with Sribus in > > the end. > > What are the reasons for needing CMS?
