GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 311320
better color management (include CMYK and letting you chose between industrial standards)
Last modified: 2006-02-15 19:25:48 UTC
Load any CMYK image created with Photoshop and watch the colours. They don't match with the real colours as The Gimp doesn't understand the Photoshop CMYK setting (I work with CMYK Euroscale coated). In Photoshop there is a menu with many different colour standards to chose between (RGB: Adobe RGB, Apple RGB, ColorMatch RGB, sRGB IEC... and CMYK: Euroscale Coated/uncoated, Japan Color, US Sheetfed...) and in the Gimp I can only choose "RGB". This makes Gimp totally unusable for graphic design involving feedback between the printer's people (CMYK) and the web' people (RGB), specially internationally. I had to give up using it professionally because of this although all the other functionalities are great! I understand that GIMP follows only the standard but I think this is not appropiate for real-life designers who have to deal with many copes using tons of different software... Anyway big congratulations for your work. I could never imagine that the Gimp would be so good in 2 years (1->2 switch)!
You did check for duplicates didn't you? I don't see what your bug reports adds that is not yet in bug #78265 and bug #102910.
