Gimp 2.0

If Gimp 2.0 includes significant CMYK support it will be a giant step forward.

What is the schedule for Gimp 2.0?

If what you want is dates, the old saying: when it is done [1]. First is making 1.3 become 1.4 and then probably start a 1.5 or 1.9 series that will become 2.0. 1.4 could appear by 2005... so you will be safe if you think 2.0 will be ready in 2010 [2]. :]

Understood. The reference to Gimp 2.0 and CMYK is the closest thing to a commitment to incorporate useful CMYK capability in Gimp that I have come across. There are two markets, on-line stuff and printed stuff. Without CMYK Gimp is limited to the first and effectively locked out of the second. Hence it cannot be considered as a complete Photoshop replacement no matter how many marvelous tricks it will do. CMYK is the one bold move that would make all the difference in publishing.

I hope for a world where the non-conformist can do whatever he/she needs to do with free software. The only non-free program I use regularly is called Mup, a music notation program I paid $29.00 for many years ago. TeX means never having to buy InDesign or Quark for typesetting. Gimp should mean never having to buy PhotoShop for book covers. Until that happy day I will struggle along with Gimp + pnmtotiffcmyk.

I can't wait to 2010. I'm too old already.
