I'm not a pro but do some shit from time to time. Between Inkscape and Gimp I never needed anything else for images. If only Gimp had better tools for animated gifs... still serviceable tho haven't tried the new Gimp yet.

But GIMP can be improved whenever you wish, Adobe cannot

Thank you, Mr. Owens. From the bottom of my heart. InkScape is my favourite graphics tool.

I urge you to watch his update videos, he's such a neat guy, and he rocks a ska/dandy style

Ive used both inskape and illustrator and inkscape is better and has been better ux wise since day 1 for me.

I made nearly all the 2D assets in my game with Inkscape. It wouldn't have been possible without it.

inkscape is great, I use it all the time

This guy is a hero. Inkscape is so much better than Adobe. Also, I couldn't have done some recent PDF to AutoCad conversions without that software. Autocad chokes on pulling vectors out of PDFs for some reason. It does it, but it is a mess. The bad thing is I know it could do better because if you just pull in the same PDF that it struggled with as an external source, it renders it fine, including all the vector information. I could be doing something wrong, but it shouldn't be that hard.

Seriously fuck adobe. We use them at work and they have the shittiest management portal in the universe and also make it so hard to cancel subscriptions.

Thank you Martin and Inkscape-team!

Any Inkscape pros know the best way to combine two pdfs using it? The page creation menus are clunky to me, and it's hard to keep the pages in order.

[–] pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Do you really need inkscape to do it? Because you can just use pdfsam.

Not all heroes wear capes.

[–] FrChazzz@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

I like his hat.

I've designed banners and flags in Inkscape, convention signage, even electoral campaign materials like business cards, handcards, campaign signs. A great tool

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Is Mr Owens British perchance?
