Although some of these details are kinda lost on me, re: 9pre-press format. BTW, when I had figured out the proper photographic conversion to sRGB with PhotoShop (CS3), I did not have any issues with the color management for the printed Blurb book. But for some, the use of CMYK might be very important. Martin, Big Thanks! Although some of these details are kinda lost on me, re: 9pre-press format.

Pity the sizes weren't published in their how-to guide. CMYK not necessary, their current sRGB conversions are pretty good. I expect CMYK will give better black but a a little care always necessary. pdf in X-3F format required 9pre-press format). Workflow suggests covers and content are separate files, wonder how that works? easy enough to template. I see this fitting naturally into my Scribus-based workflow (which also has full CMYK & colour management support).
