Re: RGB to CMYK

[Amy Abascal]

Hi Koot,

Gimp does not let us convert to CMYK.  I don't remember the details
specifically, but this has to do with the patent for the color
algorhythms.  The only time I ever boot VMWare to use Photoshop anymore is
when I need to work with CMYK colors.  I just load my finished Gimp images
and convert the color.  This is the only use I have for a Windows
environment at all.

It's an irritating limitation of Gimp but not one I bump into often.

Good Luck!

Hi,

I have not done any CMYK work with the Gimp yet so I do not have an answer
to your question.  Please do let us know how this goes because Its only a
matter of time before I will do some CMYK work and I'm curious to see how
the Gimp performs.  

Please report back on how your final printed work came out and how the
experience was using a "non standard" tool. (non standard for most
printers)

Thanks and good luck!
