Using GIMP 2.10.20, and I want to export an image with a CMYK profile, for printing purposes. I downloaded CMYK profiles from Adobe and set in Preferences. I can use one of the profiles (Coated GRACol 2006) to soft proof without a problem. Using the same profile in the Image - Color Management - Convert to Color Profile option, I get the error message "ICC Profile Validation Failed: Color profile is not for RGB color space". I tried a few of the other profiles from Adobe but with the same results. I know that sRGB is what GIMP uses, but why is the conversion not working? New GIMP user. And if I can't do it this way, is there an alternative? Thanks.
