Gimp should though.
I would also add that the OpenDocument format doesn't support CMYK in any form: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-comment/200705/msg00000.html Thomas Zander later suggested the KDE people were looking into it as part of their raster image format work, but that's really solving an already-solved problem in many ways. (As far as I know, Microsoft's OXML format is no better in this regard). > It's as if graphic designers were trying to write an operating system > and telling programmers "we're not adding mass storage support because > you don't need to use disk drives, you can just keep your computers > always turned on and store stuff in memory". > > It is that frustrating.
