Quote:As I am not very technical and new to this RGB / CMYK subject, do you know if there is a youtube tutorial somewhere about CYAN where it explains how to convert an image from RGB to CMYK ?
For one thing, on the free site I use: rgb2cmyk.org, I have always selected the SWOP2006 CMYK output format which I can't find in the CYAN software.
I did an explanation some time ago, well before Gimp 2.10.32 which has introduced a snag.
A good question about adding your own .icc file. First time you run Cyan.exe as well as installing the Gimp cyan.py plugin it makes a folder C:\Users\your-id\.config\Cyan\icc. Put your .icc profiles there.
The SWOP2006 icc you can get from here: https://www.color.org/registry/SWOP2006_...3v2.xalter
A new explanation using Win 10, Gimp 2.10.32 and Cyan 1.2.4 https://youtu.be/D6unCeSgvZk 4 minutes duration.
When it comes to importing a CMYK file into Gimp 2.10.32 Cyan plugin no longer works. The Gimp developers have 'improved' the tiff format and broken Cyan. However the devs have also improved the regular import and most CMYK images will open. Still as RGB, Gimp is a RGB editor.
I use linux and Cyan 'Import' still works here, although complains a bit. And complaints, I thought I had escaped hayfever this year, no such luck, just managed that little video without sneezing
