@Klaus

GIMP's processing engine is capable of loading a CMYK TIFF file,
processing it with a filter or placing an RGB image over it, then
saving it all back to CMYK TIFF. We need volunteers to plug this all
into GIMP. This would require changing both core functions and file
plugins (TIFF, JPEG, PSD).
