- I still wouldn't call it "fast"........ It is faster, though. But
- for CMYK images editing, yes, it's slower since it must separate the
- RGB values as you put them into the image. However, it only does half
- the job by not doing any sort of CMYK display emulation. Instead of
- doing a back-transform to get viewable RGB values for display it just
- fires the CMYK values to the window-server which does a piss-poor job
- of CMYK display. Also, it's RGB->CMYK seperation is a bit on the
- cheezy side. When you select an RGB color with the color panel and
- put that into a CMYK image, it generates a CMYK combination that is
- visually the same on screen as the RGB you picked in the panel. This
- would be great if it were doing CMYK display emulation, but it's not,
- so that color is going to come out totally wrong (especially compared
- to the rest of the image) when you go to press. It also couldn't open
- most of my CMYK image files...
