I'm not an expert but I believe that the lack of native CMYK is
fundamental to the printing problems. It's rather more than a "fancy
feature". Printing photos and artwork is fundamental to a whole industry
(or two).
There are other software with colour management (cinepaint comes to
mind) but it's nowhere near as easy to use or as sophisticated as
Photoshop. It's one area where FOSS has a way to go. I would love
someone to tell me I'm wrong.
So, the school kids are being taught to develop content for four colour
industrial printing, rather than websites?
Personally, I would think that school kids and FOSS developers time is better
spent improving tools and adding to content in the online world.
What really erks me, is that no doubt a PDF newsletters will be produced and
emailed around to be printed on home and school printers (no commercial printer
in sight). - Tell me I'm wrong.
