I'm trying to get away from Adobe products (which are becoming rather agressive towards OSS), but I need to find a graphic software that can handle CMYK properly. I've tried GIMP (which has great tools) but it doesn't handle CMYK files- it only uses sRGB. I've tried Krita, but it doesn't work as well as GIMP tool wise, and I can't specify images sizes very well at all- it only works on pixel size, not inches or dpi/ppi. Therefore both are great for designing screen images, but not printed images. I even tried using GIMP to design (using CMYK colours here), and reformatting to a CMYK file with Krita. Problem with this is that the image size doesn't work once reformatted, plus I need to export to pdf which neither do and so printing to pdf means the final image size is an A4 and god knows what dpi. Anything better out there?
