Does gimp support CMYK now? I’m a professional designer and that’s one of the reasons I didn’t use gimp. If you’re designing print media for a million dollar company, or if you want to do it right, you need to grade the colors correctly. By using rgb pics for printing you have no control over what the printer spits out. Also: if you’re using the visuals for more media than online banners, like video, it’s just so much easier to import PSDs to After effects. When you’re paid by the work and not the hour, you can’t afford to export every layer from gimp to import everything to a different program and redo all the stuff you already did. Time is money

    You can already do soft proofing and use ICC profiles in GIMP. There are also plugins. And seems like more CMYK features are under development.
