Requesting testers for CMYK Mode in GIMP
#7
(Yesterday, 12:06 AM)CmykStudent_ Wrote: Tas_mania: Hi! That's currently a topic we're discussing. CMYK printing is normally done for a specific printer, so they should supply you with a CMYK profile for use.

For testing though, you can grab one from here: https://registry.color.org/profile-registry/

Not always, I occasionally use a local printer for 10 colour inkjet printing and they prefer a RGB image. (with a caveat that some colours might change).

However, I think one set of users might be for  Kindle desktop publishing, who recommend a color profile for the best print results is  Coated FOGRA39  or Gracol 2006  maybe one of those as a default. You can get a sort of generic cmyk.icc, (looks very similar to the old PS5 cmyk icc to me)

More goes with the appimage, this time using a graphics tablet. 8 bit or 32 bit fp much the same with brush lag.  Converting from CMYK to RGB and back with out-of-gamut colours nicely converted. Text works ok, a bucket fill is quick. Beats the old soft-proofing  Wink
