Do you have some valid reason why you cannot do a decent job with separate+ and need direct editing capabilities in CMYK mode? The problem may be that when working in the Gimp it may be required to refer to something that was done using CMYK. The major issue that The Gimp has is that it's CMYK interpertation is not accurate. Whereas photoshop is very accurate. I have several times attempted to get the same results of pulling in images that were created in Photoshop using CMYK into The Gimp but not getting an accurate color representation. Once you have the image imported correctly CMYK doesn't really matter at that point, unless you want to export it for print again. But the import procedure is where the problem would most likely stem. I'm just guessing as to the original posters issue, but I do know that this is the problem that I have seen. -- o)Derek Wueppelmann (o (D .mon...@monkeynet.ca D).

Re: [Gimp-user] Changing a dark colour

I have an image of a boot footprint which originated from a grayscale image in photoshop. I have converted it to RGB. The boot print is really quite dark but I want to change it to a light green color. Every method I have tried so far has changed the color of the almost white bits but not changed the dark patches (most of the image). Can anybody help with this, thanks. The select by colour tool should let you select the dark colour you are looking for. Then you can replace the selected region by replacing it with the foreground or background colour. I don't know if this was one of the methods you already tried though. -- o) Derek Wueppelmann (o (D . mon...@monkeynet.ca D).

[Gimp-user] GIMP and CMYK
Hello, I'm sure this gets asked a lot, but I have spent the better part of today trying to figure out a reason why this is so, so I thought I would ask. Any informaiton, or even directing me to resources on the web would be very helpful. What I'm having troubles with right now is that I have been given an EPS file from a graphics company that contains a Logo. The image has been saved with (apparently) CMYK formated colors. The issue is that the CMYK representation they say should give the desired RGB formated colors is not actually doing this. What I get is distinctly not what they indicated it should be. I have now tried 7 different applications to convert this image correctly (not Illustrator or Photoshop as I don't have access to these). In all cases I get the same rendering of the image. To help illustrate the problem see the image located: http://www.monkeynet.ca/example-cmyk.png The question I have is, why does adobe illustrator apparently display the correct colors and GIMP and the other applications show an incorrect representation? As a follwo up, is there a way to get the correct representation to be rendered? I'm even willing to modify the eps file manually by hand to acheive this. -- o)Derek Wueppelmann (o (D .[EMAIL PROTECTED]D).
