🧊 freezr 🥶<p><b>Testing Gimp 3 Out...</b></p><p>I am testing <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=Gimp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gimp</span></a> 3 out (<a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=appimage)" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>appimage)</span></a> to see how I can integrate it in my new workflow.</p><p>The new <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=GEGL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GEGL</span></a> framework is much better of anything else, but still in rough shape, anyway I am totally impressed, potentially GEGL can do almost anything, now it is just a matter of time (and love 🥰).</p><p>Exporting in <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=JPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JPG</span></a>, <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=JXL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JXL</span></a> and <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=TIFF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TIFF</span></a> in <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=CMYK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CMYK</span></a> is feasible although not so intuitive, however <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=ImageMagick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ImageMagick</span></a> was unable to convert the last two in PDF... I am on <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=Devuan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Devuan</span></a> stable which means <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Debian</span></a> stable, my <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=ImageMagick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ImageMagick</span></a> version might miss new features.</p><p>You can apply GEGL operations on a group and those are inherited by the sub-layers, and this is good and expected.</p><p>I had some confusion while exporting in grayscale. The soft proofing wasn't working even though active and the dialog would asked me to save in CMYK which doesn't make sense.</p><p>The whole topic about CMYK, besides Gimp itself, looks very confusing to me. I need CMYK because my software, for instance <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=SpeedataPublisher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SpeedataPublisher</span></a> can't convert from RGB in CMYK. The purpose is because I need to go on offset printing and it is expected to prepare four plates for each colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black[Y]); However I could need to go just black and white (grayscale) thus if I have already a grayscale image what is the purpose to export in CMYK? Nothing.</p><p>I would recommend to change this line to <b>Press Output</b> and to add more voices such as: Grayscale; CMYK; CMYK + Spot Colors.</p>
