It does work. But it also has an issue with the color output. I either
get a much faded image, or oranges where there should be blues. But
this has to do with getting the RGB to CMYK conversion profiles right,
and then the CMYK to file.
This is related to .icc color profiles. I have them installed, but
don't think they are set up right.
I have to say though, to get this "right" is one of those areas that is
beyond the theoretical end user. In Photoshop, it is as simple as
Image->Mode->CMYK and then File->Save As. That *is* accessible and
understandable to that end user. So, CMYK seems to be an area that Open
Source needs improvement on. At the moment.
I hear Inkscape 0.47 will have built in CMYK support. So I know this
problem area is being worked on too though.

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...)
