SK1

SK1 quite successfully recreates some key features of professional DTP software in an open source project. It includes many publishing features, such as CMYK colour space support, separations, ICC colour management and PDF output. The left-hand part of the window contains a plugin browser with very nice tree view, which makes sK1 look like a mixture of DTP application Scribus, and Skencil, its precursor. There are some drawing tools, but they are very basic, as are the options for working with nodes and curves. SK1 is more suitable for manipulating objects and preparing graphics for printing, rather than for artistic or creative uses. It also feels unfinished, with so many features missing, which is a great shame.
