 CMYK jpeg images show up in modern browsers without any indication.
 However, after uploading no thumbnails are generated by WP.
 No error message informs the user about that.

 Afterwards functions like "wp_get_attachment_thumb_url" will return the
 full-size image giving no hints about the source of all these the
 troubles. (There can be other sources:
 http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7278)

 A "no thumbnail available" image instead of the full-size image would be
 helpful.
 A "CMYK not supported. No thumbnails have been created" message after the
 upload would be helpful.
 Actual, converting the image to RGB before/while creating the thumbnail
 would be great.
