I am very interested in this. Could you post a link?

Although, I am not a coder, I would contribute in any way I can. I come 
from a color correction background (scanning, cc, retouching, etc.), 
and as someone who made their living for many years living in 
Photoshop, I gotta say that the Gimp is just not cutting it. The 
keyboard shortcuts are terrible, and the lack of CMYK completely keeps 
it out of the commercial print market. While I am not really interested 
in the whole Adobe suite, I would snatch up PS for linux in a 
heartbeat.
