i ever downloaded separate +, then install it to my gimp.. but it doesnt work..

when i open cmyk image, there is no any dialog box about separate,,,

what do you think then..??

What do I think.... When you are not sure about a plugin - location or if it is installed & working - use the Gimp Help -> Plugin Browser.

This is Gimp 2.8 & Linux but it is the same for Gimp 2.6

A cmyk image opened in Gimp It gets converted to RGB, it is just another image.
Alternative import the image using separate+ import plugin. It is in the menu File -> Create
This gets imported as a set of layers corresponding to CMYK

next using the separate+ plugin on a RGB image - the plugin is in the Image menu

You can separate into layers corresponding to the CMYK masks. Use the Proof option to preview and/or use the Export option to save. Both these have similar dialogs and this is where you need some rgb/cmyk profiles.

You will be better off asking questions in a forum such as meet-the-gimp for photgraphy or maybe Scribus if you are more into publishing.
