[scribus] How to use color management?

[Jeffrey Silverman]

Hi. Thanks for the pointer. However, I haven't read but the first
sentence of the tutorial and already I know it will not quite address
my questions.

Typically, the images I use do not come from my camera. They come from
a commercial partner[1] that doesn't know squat about digital images.
I'd be interested in learning how images of high resolution but that
don't have any existing color profile attached can have a color
profile added so I can at least have some idea that what I see on
screen is close to what will be in print.

Any ideas in that regard?

Thanks!
