Hello, for both topics of gimp-user-list Digest, Vol 62, Issue 17: use the open source program Krita. It is an image manipulation program, natively built for Linux, installers are also available for Windows and Mac OS X, that can handle both ways, rgb to cmyk and cmyk to rgb. If it can handle psds I don´t know. Notice: rgb to cmyk will often end up in dull colors, because the color space cmyk is somewhat else than the colorspace of rgb - not all colors of rgb are resembled in cmyk. Regards

But RGB2CMYK is a hell of a lot easier to use and for that reason it will probably work better. Just upload your file and it?s done. I?m a graphic designer/photographer not a geek (not any more, anyway). I like things that work right out of the box and this online conversion worked for me. Rick S.

I'd recommend to not fiddle with it now. Vistaprint will do their own conversion, which is likely to be better than your conversion, since they do know their own processes. In fact I had lots of "fun" some time ago, where I absolutely sent them a CMYK PDF file and they still fiddled with it, adding a little bit of black to my vibrant yellow, resulting in quite dull colors...
