Gimp is a RBG editor and all editing is RGB.
You can separate a rgb image into its c-m-y-k equivalent layers using Colors -> Components -> Decompose and choose CMYK {or RGB if that is what you want) from the drop down list.
That gives you greyscale images which are the masks of the separated colors.

Are there others steps after this to make the CMYK separations ready for printing?( I did this and it was difficult to tell if the colors are actually separated...attachment

Edit: Just looking at your other posts: Is this for screen printing ? Some software mentioned here https://silverbobbin.com/color-separation-software-for-screen-printing/

What is your opinion of Ink Seps compared to GIMP?

Thank You for your help.
