[Gimp-user] Pre-press considerations (CMYK)
Hello all! Being keen in using open software for my work, I ended up with GIMP as far as it concerns DIP. Not without problems, though! I understand that GIMP is not press-oriented, thus there is little to not at all consideration on working with the CMYK model. Yet I desperately need to convert my work to CMYK (otherwise I cannot deliver my work!). Can anybody advise me on how to overcome this bump?

I am not sure what you want to do, but have you looked at Scribus (a DTP). You can import/modify your Gimp work(with gimp) in that and do all the prepress stuff.

Yet I desperately need to convert my work to CMYK You can take a look at the separate plugin by alastair robinson which can convert rgb to cmyk (using layers) and then save it. Go here: http://www.blackfiveservices.co.uk/separate.shtml (btw, I found that suse (at least 9.1) has this plugin packaged with the name gimp-cmyk) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Actually I am using SCRIBUS for my DTP work.. It also seems to be having some problems handling CMYK files. One has to go round a few issues to get it to work! You have to import CMYK files, though, if you want to do your job.. So the problem with GIMP remains!
