Hello all,
I have an Inkscape project that I am ready to send to the printing company, but they say they want a jpg in CMYK format. If they accepted PDFs, that would have been easy: export to png, import it in scribus, save as pdf with color mode set for printer. But scribus doesn't seem to have such an option for images.
So I need to convert the RGB png export of inkscape to a cmyk jpg.
Apparently photoshop can do that, but I don't have PS and I'd rather not pay just for a format conversion. Which brings me to my question - does anyone here know the best freeware tool to do that? I tried searching google, but all that pops up is programmers looking for help in developing their algorithms for that. And searching this forum didn't provide any clear answers.
