Earlier quoted context omitted.

Actually RGB is better for professional printing. Printers typically have specific colour profiles for their printers and converting your CMYK profile to their CMYK profile will usually result in differences you weren't expecting. RGB -> CMYK (@ the printer) will be closer to what you expect (what you saw on screen).

Sorry, but this makes no sense. You have the same issues with portably reproducing colours with RGB that you have with CMYK. Either way, unless you're working with calibrated hardware and explicit colour management, you don't have much chance of getting a printer to reliably reproduce what you saw on your screen; sometimes it simply isn't possible, because your RGB and CYMK representations aren't going to support exa…

Well yes you'll always have the Additive vs subtractive colour problem.

But I don't understand how RGB has problems reproducing colours... webpages seem to do fine, and that's all they do?

hi, paint.net user here, using paint.net since netframework 3.0 and stopped upgrading from above v3.5 i think it may not madder for the programmer of paint.net, but... i stopped ugrading cause for me it seemed that all the newer versions are mainly fixing bugs which were not in v3.5, and it continues... yes, in all the years using paint.net errors/bugs only happend through plugins smile.

there are two points which i would like to be "nachgereicht" but thats something for the paint.net-forums...

what you can do with pixels when there are vector-based drawing programs...

maybe make others smile (?) heres an example truly inspired by frankie zappas: "bobby brown" direct link to image: http://i.imgur.com/0CIgBXV.png

It's a bit sad that this program was open-source once, and then further versions got closed. (It's the other way around to what usually happens!)

Is there a download link for the latest version with source code? I would like to browse it a bit.

edit: found something here: http://paint-mono.googlecode.com/svn/vendor/pdn_src_3_0/ (reference before porting to linux started)
