What I meant was "print" in the magazine/book publishing sense, not gimp-print. A developer knowledgable in the print side of the business would help in building the right 16-bit CMYK stuff. With a little more digging I discovered some email discussion with John Culleton in the archives describing using netpbm pnmtotiffcmyk (http://sourceforge.net/projects/netpbm/) for command line conversion. > tifftopnm RGB.tiff | pnmtotiffcmyk > CMYK.tiff Looking further I find pnmtotiffcmyk (http://sourceforge.net/projects/netpbm/) and CMYKTiff (http://www.acooke.org/jara/cmyktiff/). In theory someone could take that into a Film Gimp plug-in pretty easily, and that could output to gimp-print. Is that what we need?
