[scribus] Obtaining PDFX-3 from Scribus 1.3.3.14

Hi

I asked my printer why I am getting muddy pictures in greyscale. Her 
explanation is as follows (in italics):

/one possible answer is because the images are originally RGB (or 
greyscale), so if you use PDFX1 (or just plain PDF) then all images get 
converted automatically to CMYK which makes then very muddy. This is 
because an extra layer of black gets added to all images . The preferred 
flavour is PDFx-3. This format keeps all colour modes in their original 
form. //. /

I have tried to export in  PDFX-3  - the preflight verifier says that 
the current profile is PDF/X-3 but when I move onto the Save as PDF 
dialogue box all the Tabs are available EXCEPT the PDF/X-3 tab which is 
greyed out.

How do save in PDF/X-3 format?

Kind regards

Robin Dean
