Thanks Dan.
This seems more cumbersome than it should be. I had hopes for Krita
after you mentioned it, but it cannot save an embedded image to a cmyk
format. Maybe if I created the artwork in Krita from scratch, but
that's not the case.
Sribus requires me to learn that tool now. I'll get to that.. :)
I didn't think Xara was "stable", compared to Inkscape. So I've been
avoiding that one.
Additionally, there are some plugins for GIMP, but these need a tad more
knowledge than the "File->Save as->cmyk" type approaches.
Apparently ImageMagick can do the conversion, but I haven't found the
right incantation yet.
I have a work around for now, but will be keeping an eye on this - it'll
be an issue again in the future.

Hi Shawn
I think both Xara LX and Scibus have some CMYK support but I could not
say for sure. Krita has the ability to convert images with at least 8
and 16 bit integer/channel CMYK support.
Hope thats the fix ;-)
All the best, Dan

I have a graphic set up to go into a magazine. It was created with
Inkscape. The mag needs the artwork in CMYK format. Turns out Inkscape
(the current version) does not support CMYK. So I tried to open it in GIMP,
and no luck there either.
Has anyone done CMYK based graphics with Linux? Will I need to find someone
with Photoshop? If you DO have experience with this on Linux, can you post
some links/details? If it helps, I'm on a Kubuntu 8.10 box.
Thanks in advance.

(ps, I have done some google search, but don't want to mis-direct any
efforts by referencing what I've found thus far - and my efforts there still
are not working either...)
