Re: [Gimp-user] Question about RGB to CMYK conversion and print work
I don’t know. But RGB2CMYK is a hell of a lot easier to use and for that reason it will probably work better. Just upload your file and it’s done. I’m a graphic designer/photographer not a geek (not any more, anyway). I like things that work right out of the box and this online conversion worked for me. Rick S.

Since I created my card in GIMP, it's in RGB mode. Would it be safe to convert my image from RGB to CMYK, using ImageMagick for example, or should I recreate it using a different tool, like Scribus? I'm a Linux user. Alternatively, I could send the image to a friend who has PhotoShop and have her convert the image to CYMK mode for me. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks! Peace...

Although I am aware that not all layers of a PSD might open in this case the whole psd is not opening due to some CMYK setting error. Check attachement for the same. Is there any workaround to open these kinds of PSDs? Thanks Gimp is a RGB raster editor and is not the best tool for creating a suitable file from a PS CMYK template. The CMYK file needs to be converted to RGB first. ... ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
