But it seems that most users of gimp (and photoshop) don't need it. Most of the gimp users seem to use it for editing photos or making web graphics, where RGB is fine. Adding and testing CMYK capabilities is both time-consuming and costly because you need access to pre-press equipment to do meaningfull testing, see: http://rants.scribus.net/2006/06/03/why-no-cmyk-in-gimp-is-a-good-thing-now/ However, there is a gimp plug-in for exporting CMYK images:=20 http://cue.yellowmagic.info/softwares/separate.html Roland --=20 R.F.Smith http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/ [plain text _non-HTML_ PGP/GnuPG encrypted/signed email much appreciated] pgp: 1A2B 477F 9970 BA3C 2914 B7CE 1277 EFB0 C321 A725 (KeyID: C321A725) --J/dobhs11T7y2rNN Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkkVW10ACgkQEnfvsMMhpyVJFACeLlm3/Ygaj6YVWX8LjlprnvJc tpgAnA9BuR01bnPKOyIoV8Q/HcZnptT1 =nS1h -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --J/dobhs11T7y2rNN--
