Here we are:

- Win7 Enterprise 32bit
- Inkscape 0.48.2 r9819
- Create new Document
- Change Document-Colormanagement to Agfa Swop Standard (not neccessary)
- use Donate-Picture from Inkscape Webpage
- convert to RGB.tiff with "convert Donate.png -auto-level -depth 8
Donate.tiff" (Imagemagick)
     identify Donate.tiff
     Donate.tiff TIFF 149x37 149x37+0+0 8-bit sRGB 6.55KB 0.000u 0:00.000
- Import OK
- convert to CMyk.tiff with "convert Donate.png -auto-level -depth 8
     -colorspace CMYK Donate_CMYK.tiff" (ImageMagick)
     identify Donate_CMYK.tiff
     Donate_CMYK.tiff TIFF 149x37 149x37+0+0 8-bit CMYK 4.06KB 0.000u
0:00.000
- Import will not work

- Color-Depht is reduced to 8bit per Channel, also Gimp can't open
16bit-Picture.

btw, what about transparency?
I Create a Document with a picture having transparent Background.
On SCREEN everything looks fine, but in printout you can see the
"transparent" Bg with other Color.
(prof. Printout, no laserprinter)
Seems, they work with pdf 1.3 without transparency. How to export
without Transparency, f.e. pdf 1.3?
