The CMYK
color input behaves strangely: in the Fill and Stroke panel,
when I try to change the color percentages in the CMYK tab by entering
numbers on the right of the color mixers, these numbers are somehow
recalculated on the fly and already entered amounts change. Here's an
example:
C 0 I
change it into 44
M
27 jumps
to
0
Y
61 jumps
to
47
B
60 jumps to
71
And so
on... It is almost impossible to input a CMYK color. Even entering CMYK
color amounts with the help of the color sliders (for example MAGENTA) leads
to subit changes in other colors (CYAN, YELLOW and
BLACK).
Yes, it's a bit strange since we aren't really storing CMYK at the
moment.
However I have been getting closer to unblocking a few parts of the
codebase that will allow us to store CMYK values by using the ICC color data
numbers.
This should be happening "Real Soon Now"... but is subject to delays due
to my family moving back to our home finally, etc. My current guess is
somewhere between 2 weeks through 2 months.
