Hi list, I don't intend to disturb or supress this very exciting discussion in any way, this is only a side note about a phenomenon I've noticed. Whenever Scribus is being mentioned and there are some DTP pros around, we are always confronted with the same, predictable question: "And what about CMYK support in _GIMP_?"
Obviously, Scribus is mainly perceived not as a standalone application, but as an integral part of a virtual "Open Source Graphic Suite" for Unices: Scribus, Gimp, Inkscape. Nice idea, but not true. As I see it, the 2 other tools are interchangeable, and there is no reason to blame their shortcomings on Scribus devs, they have nothing to do with them. Even Linux isn't a must... You like and need Photoshop, perhaps you paid a lot for it for once: why not simply using it in your Scribus related toolchain? No problem on win32 and mac, even on Linux is Photoshop fully supported with CrossOverOffice and Wine, see this link: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=1815 The same applies to Corel: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=2670 Actually, only recently I helped a friend, who is a Photoshop addict and a Scribus user, to set up Photoshop with CrossoverOffice on his Linux box -- it was easier than expected, you needn't be a rocket scientist to achieve this. just a side note Maciej ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
