gimp doesn't even support cmyk (which is only needed for print) properly so i doubt it's the default.
Perhaps I've confused a few things then, not sure. By the way it's irrelevant wether or not TGA files have a palette of not, it's the conversion process that messes up things and the difference between CMYK and RGB can be seen with the naked eye. When it comes to PS though, it has quite some quality reducing features too, be sure to set everything to maximum quality, perhaps you did something wrong there. I've never had problems with PS and exporting/saving to certain formats.
Still TGA support has been a problem with TheGIMP, not just when it comes to color translations. Remember the issues with their RLE-compressed files and the random 'can't read file' stuff?
I'm not bashing TheGimp, it's a great tool with an unbeatable price indeed, but it's not perfect,
Cheers
