As you know most prepress folks want all color images in CMYK form. So an ablilty to save in CMYK instead of RGB would be what I need. I suppose one could use ImageMagick instead but I haven't tried that. When one saves from Gimp to PNM I assume that is also an RGB format. There is a program pnmtotiffcmyk which I have been using. Unfortunately my preferred typesetting engine, pdftex, now disallows TIFF graphics because of the many variations of TIFF being produced. They allow JPEG, PNM and PDF formats for included images. For covers I can do the whole thing in Gimp, save in PNM, and use pnmtotiffcmyk. For color illustrations in a book from Gimp I am stumped. -- John Culleton Able Typesetters & Indexers http://wexfordpress.com _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
