regards, subash. Begin forwarded message: -------------------------- Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2003 07:55:02 +0100 (CET) From: Kai-Uwe Behrmann <[email protected]> To: cinepaint-developers at lists.sourceforge.net, Lcms Liste <lcms-user at lists.sourceforge.net>, gimp-print-devel at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [CinePaint-dev] [Lcms-user] [Gimp-print-devel] print - screenshots Hi all, cinepaint, an open source painting program used by motion picture studios to retouch images in 35mm films, will in its next release be able to send 16-bit CMYK data to gimp-print for printing. (16-bit per channel = 48-bit RGB) The separation is done by littleCMS (lcms) and an ICC profile. (To obtain good suitable profiles is an weak point at the moment.) The plug-in is mostly intended to meet high quality needs. I loaded two ICC print screenshots up under: <http://cinepaint.sourceforge.net/work-in-progress/print-1_lcms-options .png> ca. 400kB It shows the cms options for the separation done by lcms. and <http://cinepaint.sourceforge.net/work-in-progress/print-2_gimp-print-o ptions.png> ca. 200kB the standard gimp-print dialog from the used developers branch. Many thanks to Robert L. Krawitz from the gimp-print team for its cooperation and preparation of the library to easy plug-in, Marti Maria for his easy to work with CMS library and the many options, which I want furthermore to explore, Robin Rowe for its constant interesst in CMS and the openess of cinepaints development and William D. Tallman, for his patiance in testing and bugfinding. Kai-Uwe Behrmann
