Bug#324651: gimp: should be able to work with CMYK and spot-colours

2005-08-23 Thread rich lott
Package: gimp
Version: 2.2.7-1
Severity: wishlist


Lack of a professional standard (like GIMP) editor for CMYK files is
holding designers back from moving to Free Software. I'd be over the
moon to see GIMP move towards a robust implementation of CMYK support.

Secondary: spot colour channels would be very groovy too. (Although,
hey, Photoshop is still no good at making it easy to work with these!)

Many thanks, I realise this is a challenge, just wanted to see it on the
wishlist.

gimp 2.4 will have at least the basics of such support:
