Summary0017483: Picture Effect > Colorize with Pantone does not work properly
DescriptionWhen you apply the colorize effect to an image, it converts any spot color to a CMYK. Export pdf with PDF/X-1a:2001, convert spot colors checkbox uncheck. After export, you can check pdf in Print production/color separation with Acrobat. I'm using the latest stable version of Scribus 1.6.3 for Windows 11.

Isn't this expected behavior?
Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think a bitmap can have a spot color...

If you image is suitable for vectorization (autotracing), you may want to try that using Inkscape, and then import the resulting SVG into Scribus.

Hi. The same bug was reported long time ago https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=10626
One of the purposes of colorize photo is how to reduce costs of printing. Thank you for your help and ideas.
