[Gimp-user] 3' x 6' Sign - Word to GIMP

[rich2005 <forums gimpusers com>]

back again... Looking at the printing company PDF the colour mode is CMYK
(cyan-magenta-yellow-black). Not uncommon for a printing co.

They might want your image in that format. Gimp as well as a bitmap editor, only
works in RGB (red-blue-green) mode. Your PDF is also RGB.  A png image is
limited to RGB so that is out, usually a tif or PDF is ok.  There are plugins /
applications / web sites for conversions, some methods not so easy for a
beginner.

This is your PDF converted to CMYK using ghostscript and a cmyk colorprofile.

attached. Might be ok.
