It is my understanding that GIMP doesn't work with that standard, however when I convert something from sRGB into CMYK in another program and save it as a tiff file it appears that I am still able to open that file in GIMP, which then displays it as an sRGB.
Does GIMP 2.8 actually do that or am I not performing the CMYK conversion right?
I want open a PSD-File (CMYK) and save it as PNG (RGB). The Problem is, that the colors are completely wrong (orange is brown and so on). I tried something with Colour Management and -Workspace but nothing solves the problem.
If i take a look with XN View the Colours looks good. Same problems with JPG in CMYK (MS Paint shows correct colors, PaintShop wrong).

How can I incorporate CMYK into GIMP?
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy CreateSpace pdf in both the Proofer online and the hard copy I just received have great color variance from what I submitted in my pdf cover and interior files. The vibrancy's gone. The bright spring green is dull. The light bluegreens more like gray.
SO, next to learn: I need to know the easiest way to convert my RGB to CMYK files, so I can replace what I've got in my CreateSpace book project interior and exterior spots. I would like to do this in the pdf state, from RGB pdf to CMYK pdf. I am happy to do page by page. The 44-page book has text, plus color images (from original watercolor paintings), with some black ink drawings as well. I work on a MacBook 10.6.8. I assembled the pdfs (page by page as "images") in GIMP 2.8. The original text I formatted in iStudio, easily uploading into GIMP, as images, then working each image in layers. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that flattened images can't be unflattened, so if I need to go back to a pre-pdf pages ('images' in GIMP lingo), I'll have to do quite a bit of reconstructing. The last layered building steps are now bound within the flattened images in 44-page pdf. Fortunately, I can easily alter one page at a time within my full pdf. I want to find an RGB to CMYK conversion that I can do page by page, popping out and back into my full pdf.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am saving my images (assembled in GIMP), exporting as jpgs then converting to pdf pages.My end product needs to be one pdf, so I will be inserting these separate pages into one 44-page pdf.
I need to retain the 300 resolution (actually, somewhere the resolution has slipped to 299.98 which I'm hoping will be so near it'll look fine). (using MacBook OS 10.6.8 with the GIMP 2.8 version)I think for the ebook, the RGB of my GIMP images will be best. So, I've got that, or will have as soon as I do all the export/saving.
(as an alternative, for the paper printed version which will precede the ebook), how do I save the RGB images to CMYK which I understand will print more true to what I'm seeing on my actual paintings > images in GIMP on my computer screen (the two of which look the same at present)? And at what point in these steps is it best to do the new CMYK version?
done a modestly complex flyer layout which, by now, should be printed by a professional service. Unfortunately, those would like to have a CMYK PDF image, including an additional layer for a "highlight" color (which should be gold or silver, not sure yet). I've done a bit playing and, so far, am unsure about whether (and/or how) such a kind of pre-print color separation can be done using GIMP, or whether I would have to do this in another way. how to get my xcf stored in a way feasible for this kind of printing?

I am having a Tiff image in RGB which needs to be converted to CMYK. How do I do it? Without loosing the dpi.

I had a sudden loss of Photoshop and need to work on a large multi-layered psd. (Had I known in advance I would have reduced the size & layer amount.) Gimp won't open it because it's CMYK.
Tried several conversion techniques to RGB, none worked well. How can I open this file and maintain the layers? Also, there seem to be several different kinds of RGB, what are the differences?
About once a year I ask about a capability to output a file fromGimp in pdf format and the CMYK color model. In addition it would benice if this output was in the PDF X/1-a:2001 format, to satisfycertain fussy printers. I know there are external converters likeImageMagick. It would however be nice if after all these years Gimpcatered to the needs of the printing industry.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm using Gimp 2.8.4 on a MacBook Pro.
I have been working on an image file for several hours now, and as a result, there were MANY files open (probably over 30).
I attempted to save the file, and recieved the following error message:
"Could not read the contents of [folder name] Too many open files"
I then closed each of the open files except the file I was trying to save, but got the same results.
The same error message pops up when I try to open a file as well.
I'm using Gimp 2.8.6.Try as I might, I'm still trying to figure out how to effectively 'merge' 3 shots of the same scene taken at 3 different exposures (using the exposure bracketing feature on my camera).The idea is to end up with the equivalent of an HDR image.
I assume that I open the first image and then open the other two as layers . .
I will do absolutely ANYTHING to restore this picture. I've been working on it for hours. I thought I learned my lesson from working for hours and not saving, but apparently my lesson might now be to save in 8 places while working.
I was working on a drawing, saving as I went, and my laptop shut off unexpected as I was saving. I thought it saved before it shut off, but when I came back on, it wouldn't open the xcf file. The preview still shows up, and the file is still 1.37MB. Is there ANY way of redeeming my drawing? Any other programs I could open it in or way to fix it?
I just installed GIMP 2.6.11 on Windows 7 64-bit, then tried to open a .png file.
Alas, instead of the image, I was surprised to see an error message box stating:
"Opening C:UsersmePicturessnapshot.png failed: Unknown file type"
I have GIMP 2.6 running perfectly on Windows XP (32-bit) and never had any such problem.
When I go to the open menu and navigate to a jpg image and click "OPEN", nothing happens. The open dialog stays but the buttons are greyed out.

I recently scanned in an old photo and thinking I was being clever and losing zero quality, I saved it as a "Raw Data Image" using GIMP.
However, I cannot open it now, GIMP doesn't recognise it, and when I select Raw Data Image in the File > Open dialog, it just shows a garbled image and some sliders/numbers for me to play with.
Can I save my image, or will I have to scan the photo again (after spending months talking the owner into letting me borrow it and scan it in the first place!)
OK, first let me say that I use Gimp all the time.......... IN LINUX. I'm trying to install Gimp 2.6.12 on a Win 7 machine for a friend. The installation went fine, but for some odd reason there is only the default dialogs panel on the left, but none on the right. When I try to open the layers dialog or any other dialog, absolutely nothing happens. Was there something else that needed to be installed prior to installing Gimp? I'm going to assume no since one dialog is already open.

I open Gimp
I drag an image file into Gimp
That's OK. Image is opened
Now, I want to open another image Dragging into Gimp doesn't work - wherever you drag it?Why is this?
Another way I like to open is to press 'Ctrl O' and then paste the path of a folder and press return This then takes me to that folder and shows me all images inside(The same behaviour will work with any other program on WIndows) With Gimp, this is not possible .There is no path displayed when you first click Ctrl O.I've found how to get the path: click on one of the locations on the left pane and then click on the 'Type Name Field' icon - this then gives you a location in which you can type the path
it only takes a second or two to do, but it would be nice if we just could past the path name or start typing the path name after pressing 'Ctrl O' - like ALL other Windows programs!
I only just found out about them when I was looking for some textures on Tumblr and I believe they basically change the color of an image, if I'm right?
How can I use them?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWas working on a project this morning which is originally in a pdf file. The previous gimp opens it fine. updated to the latest and greatest gimp and now it opens the pdf file but only shows empty layers! No graphics at all. I reverted back to 2.6.11. It works fine again now. Is this a bug or is there some setting I am not aware of?
View 2 Replies View RelatedFor some odd reason all of a sudden my GIMP will not open a ESP file! This is one of the two error messages I get:
Plug-in crashed: "file-ps.exe" (C:Program FilesGIMP 2libgimp2.0plug-insfile-ps.exe)
The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.
The second one is:

I've had GIMP for quite awhile but I haven't been able to use it effectively for any projects simply because I cannot open, use, or view the layers dialog box.
I've tried Windows > Dockable Dialogs > Layers - this does not work. And I've tried using the shortcut, Ctrl + L, this does not work either. I've also tried uninstalling/reinstalling GIMP, but this hasn't solved the issue either.
I have a few older PSDs that were saved with Photoshop CS that will not open in GIMP or in IrfanView... instead of the PSD layers, I get a white image that has a message in four languages that says, "This layered Photoshop file was not saved with a composite image".
Yet I have other layered PSDs that were saved of similar images at the same time that do open in GIMP just fine.
Also what is very strange here in these files that won't show their image is that the paths in these original PSDs do show up in GIMP, but normally GIMP cannot read path information from PSD files... or from PSDs saved in GIMP anyway.
how to get these images to open with their original content, or show their images at all?
