RE: [libreoffice-marketing] branding colors - missmatch

Hello Tom,

To move Images between Inkscape and Gimp I use the 
File->Export Bitmap option in Inkscape, to create a PNG file.

Then import the PNG file into GIMP, and the RGB (and alpha info.) is preserved.
btw, I had add the Vegur font to my windows machine, to use in GIMP.



For printing content, I use the CMYK in Inkscape to get the right colors. 
Then look at equivalent RGB and use the same in GIMP. 
Output from GIMP is JPEG at highest resolution, because that is what the commercial printers prefer 
here.
Allowing for bleed, I have not seen much distortion.

It's a bit convoluted, however, you could try the same.
