I am sorry for bringing this discussion back. From your experience what tools produced nice results and were easy to use under linux (or better be available under Linux).
A publisher requested to get tiff's saved in CMYK so I started doing research on the topic and of cause first of all I mairixed my mail archives to get to this email ;-) I am not dealing with very colorful pictures so I am not sure if exact profiling of screen would do any difference but I've done its basic profiling using lprof. Now I am looking for easy way to save CMYK tiff's. There is a http://www.blackfiveservices.co.uk/separate.shtml GIMP plugin but it seems that it wasn't really active developed recently, thus, I thought, there must be some better alternative. I've split RGB into CMYK layers using some conversion present in GIMP (takes RBF and decomposes into separate layers of CMYK - so no proper visualization is available). I am yet to find how to store that into CMYK TIFF since it merges layers together while saving into tiff. After browsing more it seems that the "separate" plugin is the only way. What other tools are available? Thanks in advance! On Wed, 11 Oct 2006, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > CMYK is still a problem for free software.
