CMYKTool 0.1.4 Released
2010-07-24
I'm pleased to announce a new release of CMYKTool, featuring a few bug fixes, better international support on Windows, and - the big news for this release - support for black generation curves, using ArgyllCMS's DeviceLink capability.
Source code - .tar.gz
Windows Binary - .zip
Please note: the Windows build requires an existing GTK+ installation - the easiest way to get that is to install GIMP.
Notable changes this time include:
- Added Spanish translation, thanks to Guillermo Espertino.
- Added a list to the preset editor which allows them to be recalled and deleted.
- Added device link generation capability (using Argyll's collink utility), and an editor to manage them.
- Added menus - including Select All / None, and menu items to bring up the preset and device link editors.
- Added About dialog.
- Many fixes to filename handling on Win32 - should now be able to handle unicode characters in filenames.
- Translation should now work on Win32.
- Updated French translation, thanks to Cedric Gémy.
- Updated Russian translation, thanks to Alexandre Prokoudine.
Future plans include:
- Support for "duotone" images, where an image is converted to use black and a single spot colour. (Similar to the Separate plugin's duotone feature, but with the ability to specity the spot colour.)
- The ability to import PostScript and PDF (by means of GhostScript. (There is already rudimentary support for this if GhostScript is in the path).
- The ability to make use of Argyll to create a DeviceLink profile specifically for transforming a particular image (or set of images).
