Not having tried this myself, http://en.sourceforge.jp/projects/separate-plus/ seems to be the official[1] download page of Separate+, also linked to from e.g. http://registry.gimp.org/node/471 which says it provides: separate_import (bonus) CMYK TIFF import plug-in which generates the pseudo-composite image So I would try $ convert input.psd output.tif and then open those tiff files in gimp with separate_import (unless separate_import can also open psd files?) Hope this helps, Kevin Brubeck Unhammer Footnotes: [1] The official homepage http://cue.yellowmagic.info/softwares/separate.html seems to be down, however, the Arch Linux package also points to sourceforge.jp. The homepage of the "old" Separate plugin (without the plus) also recommends using Separate+: http://www.blackfiveservices.co.uk/separate.shtml _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
