Ah, ok. I won't have time for a different compile right now. I hope I can try that later. But I see now that Cinepaint does preserve CMYK. The channels panel displays Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black for a CMYK image. Gimp does not. So that is already something. However, my version of Cinepaint incorrectly displays the CMYK image. It seems to me as if it uses the CMYK channels as if they were RGBA. The image has really weird colors, and a lot of it is transparent (Black channel interpreted as alpha ?). Is this normal behaviour for the default Cinepaint application ? And this is not in the oyranos edition ?
