GIMP help needed!

[proud gonzo]

Ok, I just downloaded Gimp. One of my manuscripts is a photography book and all of the photos are photoshop files. I downloaded gimp so I could open them, BUT now it says CMYK is not supported. What's the easiest fix for this? How about the separate+ plug-in? I don't need to edit the files, I just want to see them.

TIA.

Open the file using Illustrator, convert to RGB, save, reopen in Photoshop.













Just kidding, I have no clue.

Your computer needs to grow a pair.

What's the easiest fix for this?

1. Go to Pirate Bay.
2. Download Photoshop.
3. Install Photoshop.
4. Have fun.

Separate+ plug-in

Installing binary version from Painters Studio repository

Painters Studio repository (http://pst.brankovukelic.com/) hosts binary packages for Separate+ plugin. To obtain the plugin, add one of the following two repositories to your pacman.conf:
#x86_64 packages[pst]Server = http://pst.brankovukelic.com/x86_64 (http://pst.brankovukelic.com/x86_64)# or#i686 packages[pst]Server = http://pst.brankovukelic.com/i686 (http://pst.brankovukelic.com/i686)Then install the package using pacman:
pacman -Sy gimp-plugin-separate+Installing using AUR

Grab the gimp-plugin-separate+ (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32995) package and install it using makepkg (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg).
Installing manually

To install manually, get the zip file from Sourceforge.jp download page (http://sourceforge.jp/projects/separate-plus/downloads/42977/separate+-0.5.5.zip/), unpack it and issue the following commands:
makesudo make installIf you don't have sudo (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sudo) on your system, you can build like this:
makesu# Enter root passwordmake installWhen you start Gimp the Separate+ will be reachable through Image > Separate menu.

okay, now I need something in ENGLISH. :mad:

PG, that was archlinux.org. You need a windows how to.

[proud gonzo]

none of you are helping.

Try this link.

[proud gonzo]

okay, now I have 11 files downloaded on my computer and none of them have an .exe extension, which means I don't have a clue what to do with them. I don't understand computers, so none of this has helped so far, except that i've probably got a whole bunch of crap on my computer now that i don't need.

there are H files and C files and an "application" and a "file". This is stupid.

[sooner_born_1960]

you don't have separate.exe?

[sooner_born_1960]

You are hiding extensions. The "application" is the .exe.

[NormanPride]

:les: QUIT HIDING THINGS!

[proud gonzo]

It wouldn't run because it said i was missing some file in Gimp, so I uninstalled and reinstalled Gimp, except this time it wouldn't let it save to the program files folder, and then i found the Separate+ thing again, except now there are 40 files and none of them is an exe.

now i've uninstalled and deleted everything for a second time.

And NOW it says the source files are corrupted and won't install.

[sooner_born_1960]

You did something wrong. Or, not. Maybe that software I linked to is crap.

[sooner_born_1960]

I was trying to help without actually installing any of the software.

Try jiggling your toggle switch.

[JohnnyMack]

I'll post a picture of a spider. That'll help.

[soonerboomer93]

If that doesn't work toggle your jiggle switch

[WichitaSooner]

Guess you better wake HIM UP THEN... that's all I got....

[proud gonzo]

called the IT guy here. didn't help.

**** Gimp.

If you only need it this one time, you could download the real Photoshop or Photoshop Elements right from Adobe. They give you a free 30 day trial.

[jiminy]

Krita and Scribus are open source free programs that support CMYK. You would have to install a bunch of KDE stuff for Krita... not sure about Scribus

[proud gonzo]

That's okay. I got IrfanView. It opens the files and it downloaded properly in about 30 seconds.
