I can +1 this assessment from direct recent experience.  I do full-color
glossy programs books for a local community theater.  I have one printer
that I enjoy working with who needs all of the images to be CMYK.  In
the past, I've done it by hand and found it to be tedious.  This year, I
got smart and made a PIL script.  The results were very disappointing:
the colors were pale and washed out.  I did the same conversion with
ImageMagick and the results were excellent, although too late.  Lesson
learned.
