Question about instalation
Hi,
As the instruction says, I installed the .exe files in the plugin section, i also downloaded the Adobe´s ICC.
But nothing happend, i mean i could not separate RGB into CMYK.
For me its obvious that i dont know what to do with the rest of the files that are decompressed, like makefile, makefile.win32, iccbutton.c and others that are inside folders.
Any help? please
Re: Separate
If you're using Windows, all you need is the win32 binaries located in the Bin folder of the zip file. (They go in your .gimp-2.6/plug-ins folder.
If you're using Linux or Mac, you need to read the "readme.txt" file for further information. In fact, it has the Windows installation process listed there as well, but you said "nothing happened" so knowing what OS you are using could be critical in getting the right help.
Mac install
Just how does one go about installing this thing on a Mac? Help is greatly appreciated! :)
MAC installation
It seems there are problems with that plug-in on Mac.
I installed XCode Tools and successfully built e.g. little cms. But when trying to "make" separate+ I received a lot of errors.
Equal to that post:

maybe the tip in the last

Installing separate+ on a mac
I've got this working under snow leopard. The steps I took were to install gimp2-devel with macports - though this in itself took a while: db46 kept giving a checksum error - but there is a patch for that on the macports site (essentially change the version number in the port file to 4) - and a couple of other dependencies failed, but installing those individually as they happened worked.
Once gimp2-devel is installed you are then in a position to compile the source code for separate+. I found that 0.5.7 still didn't work, but RC 0.5.8 does for me. Final step is to make sure the compiled plugins are in a directory your gimp looks to. And then, hopefully, it should work.
Opening PSD's that were saved as CMYK
As a professional graphic designer I am given PSD's from my clients. Some time these PSD's are saved as CMYK.
So, how to get around this error...
"Error loading PSD file: Unsupported color mode: CMYK"
I have successfully (or so I think) installed the plug-ins and icc profiles as instructed.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you you for your time.
Separate+ cannot open CMYK files
Hi,
Separate+ supports color separation, softproofing, and exporting CMYK files, and does not support reading of the CMYK files.
Of course the PSD file plug-in does not support reading of the CMYK files, too.
Try to use ImageMagick's convert command for conversion from CMYK to RGB.
Note that separate_import plug-in enables importing the CMYK TIFF file as a pseudo-composite image. To convert the pseudo-composite to RGB image, use Proof function of the separate+ plug-in.
