[scribus] exporting to PDF gives bad print result

[Victor Papp]

Hi.

Yes, I had a similar problem with 1.5.0svn when preparing PDFs for 
offset printing.
Images was dimmed - they looked like you looking at them through fog.
I solved that problem by:
1. converting all jpgs to CMYK TIFF
2. turning on color management and applying color profiles when 
exporting to pdf.
