Fwd: [Scribus] Converting graphics to CMYK with free software tools

[Boudewijn Rempt]

Hi Axel,

Petr Vanek forwarded you mail to the krita mailing list. I hope you don't mind 
me approaching you directly about the issues you had?

* Krita always manages its colors, so when we load an RGB image without a 
colour profile, we assign the default lcsm sRGB profile to the image.

I cannot reproduce this with 1.6, which may mean that either there was a bug 
in Krita 1.5 or that Krita has a problem with your icc profiles. I don't have 
those profiles, so I cannot test with them -- could you mail me the .icc 
files at boud at valdyas.org?

We use Image/GraphicsMagick to load xcf and that converter doesn't support 
everything .xcf offers. We're currently not planning to write our own .xcf, 
preferring instead on trying to get OpenRaster off the ground.
