I have to go somewhere, so I haven't read evreything yet, but I'd like to make this point. Converting from CMYK to RGB and vice versa are not lossless by a long shot. This is by necessity and the fact that GEGL is non-destructive has nothing to do with it, since large porions of image data will have to be tossed when converting. The gamut for RGB is far larger in the bright colors, and CMYK can produce effects that cannot be produced in RGB. See, for example: <http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2009/06/expanding-the-gamut-sharp-to-increase-color-range-of-lcds.ars> I am very concerned that your overlay concept would simply degrade the image over successive conversions. -- | Andrew A.
