Hi all. I'm using gimp 2.6.10 on ubuntu 10.10. I have a layered psd that has been edited using a CMYK colour profile. I'd like to open it. When I try, gimp gives me the error:
Error loading PSD file: Unsupported color mode: CMYK Googling around gets me some interesting solutions. One is to use imagemagicks 'convert' to create each layer as a png. When I tried this, I got a whole bunch of generically named layers. Most of the conversions had failed, resulting in transparent png's with no content. I found this thread, nearly three years old, on ubuntuforums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=958470 One of the solutions proposed in it is to use a seperation filter that that has been created as a plugin. I found the homepage for such a plugin. It had a warning that the plugin should not be used, with a broken link to a better one to use. I also found this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CMYK_support_in_The_GIMP#CMYK_color_and_The_GIMP This provides some information on the issue, and a link to a plugin package to help remedy. However, the plugin is about four years old. Is this a solved problem yet? Is it possible to open CMYK psd's in gimp? Thanks. -- bobdobbs (via gimpusers.com) _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
