The No.1 priority past release 2.8 is to clean-up the library (see above) and move to high bit depth, that is, continue integration of GEGL. Only then it will make sense to do anything about CMYK, because 8bit based conversions between color spaces introduce too many errors (not speaking about having to rewrite things). The outlined proposal is here: http://blog.mmiworks.net/2009/05/gimp-enter.html http://blog.mmiworks.net/2009/06/gimp-squaring-cmyk-circle.html There are fairly reasonable workarounds. One of them was proposed here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.gimp.devel/20007 Alexandre Prokoudine http://libregraphicsworld.org _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
