A follow-up:

I found an old copy of Scribus (1.2.1, Jan 08, 2005) on my HD, so I decided to 
see if that has the same problem. I created two new pdfs, containing the 
exact same picture, one from Scribus 1.2.1 and the other in Scribus 1.3.0. 
Surprise! The 1.2.1 version displays just fine, while the 1.3.0 pdf is too 
dark. I checked the export options and can't find any differences.

Then I got another idea, "What if I load the image up in the GIMP and convert 
it to jpg?". It was originally a png (with an alpha channel). Well, I did 
that and now the jpg based 1.3.0 pdf displays fine. So it looks like a 
Scribus problem after all, but it only affects Reader in Linux. Arggggh! 
Well, at least I have a work around.

Can anyone with a more current Scribus (after July 14, 2005 build) confirm 
this for me? Do pngs display too dark? I'll file a bug report, but I'd like 
to know it's not just me first.
