[Gimp-user] Question about GIMP CMYK support.

[Bhavin Suthar]

Hello All,

I was evaluating GIMP and found below article about Adobe and GIMP

http://www.labnol.org/internet/pictures/adobe-photoshop-vs-gimp-for-serious-photographers/920/

I was mainly concerned about below statements

===

If you use Photoshop to create artwork for print, then you can forget about
replacing it with GIMP for now, as GIMP supports only RGB colour. CMYK
support is due to be added, but for now it's not available.

So can free software really compete with Photoshop? For the vast majority of
ordinary users the short answer is certainly 'yes'. However, for graphics
professionals — that is, Photoshop's target market — the answer has to be a
resounding 'no'.

Can someone tell me the truth behind this? Does this also mean that if you
write text on image (like your jpeg Canon photos) then they can't be printed
properly?

Thanks
Bhavin
