That said, for print use it needs to be able to work in the cmyk world and also be able to use icc profiles. If Krita, Scribus etc. can add these features then Gimp should be able to also.
The reason why people want to have Gimp tools transferred to Krita is that Krita can work in cmyk, and Gimp's progress in this regard seems to be asymptotic, closer and closer but it never seems to get there. Krita is however dead slow. I use nothing but Open Source, and Gimp is one of my favorites. But my business is publishing and I need cmyk. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.
