GIMP Version: 2.8.14
Operating System: Windows
OS Version: Windows 10
GIMP Experience: Basic Level

List any relevant plug-ins or scripts:
Separate +
LCMS




Hi all, I am still learning Gimp and all of its workings. I have a project finished that needs to be submitted in CMYK. I am very stuck with the install of Separate+ and the lcms file(s). It would really be great if these were combined into an installer rather than just picking and choosing which files needed to be copied and from where.

I have downloaded the separate+ zip from the original source (can't post a URL as a newbie poster!)

I also downloaded the latest LittleCMS version (2.7?) from sourceforge. I have no idea how to install these properly so I can use Separate+ in Gimp. I did it a long time ago (by sheer luck, I think) on a different laptop and Windows 7. I am running windows 10 now, and working with Gimp 2.8.14.

So far I have copied into the plugins folder in Gimp2.8:
icc_colorspace
libtiff3.dll
separate
separate_import

and into the modules folder I have copied:
liblcms-1.dll

I am not sure what else I might need to tell in order to get the help I need. Any guidance you can give me would be much appreciated! I show know options for separate in Gimp and am not getting any error messages.

Have you tried going to the GIMP Plugin Registry,
to see if there is any information on how to install these?

A good point does separate+ work in a 64 bit Win 10 and Gimp 2.8.14 - yes, at least it does here.

If you look at the bottom of http://cue.yellowmagic.info/softwares/s ... index.html there is a package that includes/ does not require lcms. separate+-0.5.8+lcms2_win32_bin.zip

In Win10, opened a file, converted to cmyk and this the export dialog. http://i.imgur.com/ZGCMnjP.jpg
Separate+ is a 32 bit plugin, still works, pop it in your Gimp profile. http://i.imgur.com/gjbG0sR.jpg

AFAIK the partha version of Gimp includes separate+ you might want to try that.

A couple of years ago I bundled it all up for someone.
On my mediafire account http://www.mediafire.com/download/azx5y ... tility.zip
and a video to go with it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rby7r771D4&hd=1

If you only have one or two images to convert and not too large (< 12 MB), there is a free online conversion at http://www.rgb2cmyk.org/

Wallace, I have looked over the Gimp Plugin Registry and don't find any info that helps me. I may just be missing it?

Rich2005, That is some very helpful stuff there. I will look over your links and images and see what I can do. My biggest issue is what files do I copy from the extracted files and where do I put them? I will watch your video and reply with results asap. Thanks again!
