Git commit 3a63868acf452a81163e9c12791ecc54548234a0 by Wolthera van Hövell tot Westerflier.
Committed on 08/06/2018 at 20:10.
Pushed by woltherav into branch 'draft'.
Spelling, Grammar and Style fixes guided by LanguageTool.
I didn't follow it dumbly, but there were a lot of sections where
there were missing capitals, spellos and even old mediawiki syntax
lying around.

within the CMYK color model! But there are three problems with that:
* Painting in a CMYK space doesn't guarantee that the colors will be the same on your printer. For each \
combination of Ink, Paper and Printing device, the resulting gamut of colors you can use is different. \
Which means that each of these could have a different profile associated with them.
* Furthermore, even if you have the profile and are working in the exact color space that your printer \
can output, the CMYK color space is very irregular, meaning that the color maths isn't as nice as in \
other spaces. Blending modes are different in CMYK as well.
* Finally, working in that specific CMYK space means that the image is stuck to that space. If you are \
preparing your work for different a CMYK profile, due the paper, printer or ink being different, you \
might have a bigger gamut with more bright colors that you would like to take advantage of.
