Hello all,

during a discussion on the scribus irc channel I was tould Scribus uses a 
late binding colour model. Only on PDF export colours may be converted 
dependent on the PDF type selected. I tried to describe that here:
<http://www.oyranos.org/wiki/index.php?title=Scribus>

The question is now, do we need further mixed colour space document 
policies selectable in Oyranos or can we simply refer to the way Scribus 
does things regarding mixed colour space documents?

Other applications like CinePaint, and later possibly Gimp, dont support 
complex colour space layouts. What about the way Krita goes?

What about the Adobe layout application and photoshop?
