[Gimp-developer] Interest for CMYK support

[Eleftheria Chatziargyriou <ele hatzy gmail com>]

Hello everyone,

I am occasionally developing a colour theory library as a pet project and
oftentimes compare it against widely established tools. I was quite
surprised to see that GIMP doesn't offer any support for the CMYK mode.

I did a bit of searching around and it seems that the feature was popular
enough to warrant a plug-in (Separate+) which now seems deprecated. Beyond
that, I also found a few scattered threads requesting this feature most of
which where redirected to the aforementioned plug-in.

Is there any interest for seeing CMYK support as a part of gimp, or is it
beyond the scope of the project?

Thank you in advance!
