Funny story about that.  I was submitting an article to an IEEE journal
once.  IEEE's submission process for images gives back fairly useful error
messages, and it told me that my images (that I generated from matplotlib)
needed to be in CMYK format.  I had access to Adobe Illustrator on my
wife's computer, and used its tools to convert those files to CMYK, and
resubmitted it to IEEE's submission page.  The error message I got back?
"Images need to be in RGB format"

I forget what I did to resolve this problem (I think I did some funky
eps-->ps-->pdf-->eps thing, I don't remember), but what I submitted was
certainly RGB, so, go figure...
