Just a friendly reminder example for all those people who only ever heard of GIMP and not wanting to let go of their Adobe products because they don't like GIMP. Krita deserves more wide spread attention. https://krita.org/en/features/
Unless you're talking artwork for professional print shops, people have been printing out RGB pictures for decades. Otherwise, imagemagick will convert the files for you in a single command (note that this solution has also been available for at least 12 years). All you need is the ICC profiles.
Heck, any print company worth their salt will convert the colour space of your file(s) for a fee if all else fails.
Amazon's printers often print awful-looking stuff when I use RGB. I'll check out the cmyk converter, but the Affinity suite let's me actually edit in CMYK color space, not just output.
It you use Affinity on Windows, you may be interested in this: https://github.com/lf-/affinity-crimes
Thanks, this is a good idea. I currently have a 2nd laptop specifically for using Windows apps, and I'll stick with that. There are also VSTs that only work in windows, and I'm not bending over backwards to make all this windows stuff work in Linux.
I use Linux for writing software, and most of my PC needs actually. But having Windows on a 2nd machine is very, very useful presently.
