It's amazing how people hate Gimp just because it's not Photoshop - lack of CMYK support is usually first on their list of reasons, so that should make for an interesting counter-argument. -- Élie Charest [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://archie.homelinux.net:8080

[Cooker] The GIMP and CMYK
WRT recent discussions about PhotoShop and Mandrake: http://www.linuxgraphic.org/dcforum/DCForumID1/75.html Sven Neuman says (apparently either on 05 Sep 2001 or 09 May 2001 depending on how you interpret the date "05-09-01"): Yes, the Gimp-2.0 core will have support for multiple color spaces and CMYK will most probably be one of the color spaces supported by default. Of course color management is partly protected by patents. While I must admit that I do not believe in intellectual property at all and living in Europe makes it easy to ignore those software patents, we will probably have to respect some of those patent issues. On the other hand, only professional users need professional color management systems like Pantone, so our goal is to provide the architecture for color management and to provide at least one free implementation. This will give color management to everyone and will allow third-party vendors to offer color management modules which are based on systems that need to be licensed. Professional Gimp users will then have a chance to spend their money on licensing fees in order to get the color-management systems with well-known names on it as their customers demand. Cheers; Leon
