Quote:... I can see a CMYK palette in GIMP as well. So does it mean we can pick colours from those and sent the exported PNG to Krita for a simple conversion ?
I think you have colour profiles 'something'.icc in inkscape - https://i.imgur.com/nF12cYE.jpg
mixed up with palettes. - a set of colours - as in inkscape - https://i.imgur.com/sHu7c8X.jpg
Of course the same applies in Gimp you can set a colour profile for soft proofing in Preferences and you have a set of palettes in your installation files. I have never seen a CMYK palette unless I installed one myself. FWIW, one I made for my use attached. Looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/las90fm.jpg
No guarantee that all the colours are 'in-gamut' it depends on the icc profile that is used for printing. You should make one for yourself.
Regardless of using a CMYK icc profile. Both Gimp and Inkscape are RGB editors and that is the type of image they export.
To be really safe, you convert your RGB image to CMYK and determine if it is suitable. All sorts of ways to make a conversion. On-line websites / Krita / Gimp - cyan plugin / ImageMagick as well as the expensive stuff.
Quote:..Also, in Krita is it as simple as opening an RGB PNG from GIMP and while saving, use the CMYK profile.
Almost. Convert the colour space from the Image menu, Export as a png and because png is RGB only it is changed back to RGB with the 'safe' colours. https://i.imgur.com/336LTLZ.jpg
