Hi, I've been up all night trying to finalize my print book cover to send off to IngramSpark.
Well, as I found out just the day before yesterday, they need the color space to be CMYK, US Web Coated (SWOP) v. 2. Fine. Today I got that installed in the Color Management section of GIMP. Or should I say, of the GIMPs . .. Here's where it gets interesting. I've upgraded to GIMP 2.10.4 on my Windows 10 PC, but I don't like the dark gray workspace (or whatever it's called). So on my Windows 7 touchscreen laptop, I kept 2.8.22, and that's what I've been using to put together this cover. As you can see from the attachment, it has a LOT of blue. When I proofed it on the PC with GIMP 2.10, most of the colors were out of gamut, including the blacks. Just awful. But when I tried it on the laptop with GIMP 2.8, proofing just shows the blues a little faded, but nothing's out of gamut at all. So what's making the difference? Is it the different version of GIMP I have on each computer? Or is the out-of-gamut the fault of my PC's monitor? Or is my laptop monitor lying to me? I need the file I send IngramSpark to be printable the first time, because they charge $25 for every correction. Don't want to be on the hook for that! So any help is appreciated, the more simply-put, the better. Thanks!
