### I do a lot of desktop publishing related work. Will you ever support CMYK?

architect Peter Sikking at Libre Graphics Meeting 2009 and later —
in his two-part article in his company's blog:

take some time to read up on that.
-It's worth mentioning that currently CMYK is considered by us a low-priority
-project. Here's why.
+We needed to finalize transition to the new image processing engine, GEGL,
+before attemtping to introduce features like CMYK support. Now that it is
+complete, initial work on CMYK support has been done in the babl and GEGL
+libraries that GIMP relies on. This is partially
+[funded by the GIMP community](https://www.patreon.com/pippin/posts),
+you can join in, too.
-Things like non-destructive editing are required by pretty much all
-users — photographers, designers, desktop publishing engineers,
-and even scientists. At the same time, CMYK is required only by a small subset
-of our user base. We prioritize our work accordingly.
+Once we finish some more work on color management in GIMP, it will be a good
+idea to start exposing CMYK in the user interface. We have not timeline on this.
+Also, please note that we are not planning advanced features such as GCR support
+for now. This will most likely require a new dedicated developer in the team.

### I don't like some changes you introduced in recent GIMP versions. Why can't you add a checkbox to
disable them?
