However there are various ways to export an image with CMYK colour space. One of them is a plugin Cyan details here: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-CMYK-c...3#pid11743 links to downloads and a short how-to
If you have problems installing in Gimp then Cyan is also a stand-alone program. Export your RGB image from Gimp and run it through Cyan.
For a one-off there are web services for conversion example: https://www.rgb2cmyk.org/
Other ways: A bit over the top but Krita is free and converts and edits RGB/CMYK
CYAN plugin installed and seemed to execute also without problems. Trying to save image gave error message re extrasamples field not set; tried save a second time with no error and file saved. Looks like resolution reduced from 300 to 72 however so will continue to look into this. Will check out your other suggestions also; thanks for your input Rich.
