This is a small collection of free stuff to use for print production. Full professional roadmap is connected with CMYK color mode, and in reality its much harder to do it than simply RGB. So if You dont really need working with CMYK dont do it :) . Scribus generate always good CMYK PDF even if in source is RGB bitmap.
