Summary0001740: Apply color to a grayscale tiff in scribus, without altering the linked file - colorizing the image to the desired color
DescriptionThis is a feature I'm used to using in Freehand MX and would like to see implimented in Scribus at some point. The feature allows one to apply a fill color (process or spot) to a linked/placed grayscale image, using the black value of the image to produce the shade percentage of color in a layout.

This provides significant workflow flexibilty when using raster images that have multiple color options. ie; a logo which could be blue in some uses, green in others, and black in another..all while linking to the same grayscale tiff.

This 'tinting' facility is also supported in PageMaker, where it proved extremely handy - especially for spot-colour jobs.

 Not sure if this will help any, but I managed to achieve this effect in Gimp 2.2 with the following steps:
1. Load Grayscale tif
2. Convert to RGB
3. Color To Alpha (selected white)
4. Add layer below
5. Fill bottom layer with desired color (everything that was black in the original is now this color)
6. Flatten and save

Naturally selecting a fill color in Scribus would save a few steps. <edit, removed links, uploaded image>
