AFAIK, cinepaint doesn't offer CMYK support, and it's certainly no high priority for the developers, since it's mainly used for films, not pre-press. > > Before I chase my tail further how close is the functionality of > Cinepaint to Gimp?

Feature-wise (eg. image editing and retouching), it's way behind, like GIMP 1.1 or so, but in terms of supported colour spaces, cms etc. GIMP isn't even close to CinePaint. > > My activity centers around massaging illustrations, photos etc. for > print use. You should have a look at Krita. It supports all sorts of colour spaces and colour depths, including 16 bit CMYK. HTH Christoph
