You also get the Dodge, Burn, and Sponge tools, which-if you’ve ever worked in a darkroom-lets you lighten or darken selected areas, and decrease the saturation of colors in selected areas, respectively.

But for the rest, especially the Perspectives and the Warps, I prefer Photoshop.Įditing also includes features such as Spot Healing (removes or paints over spots) the Clone Stamp (paints over sections copied from another section) the Pattern Stamp (paints patterns) the History brush (restores a previous section back to its original state) the Eraser tools and the Blur tools (that blur, smudge, or sharpen an area). GIMP’s Cage Transform is interesting, and the Shear effect is nice. The effect on the text layers isn’t much better than those in Word or PowerPoint styles, and you can view the results only after the filter has been applied. GIMP’s styles for the text are the same as the filters for objects, which are applied to the selected layer. The second essential on my list is Styles, especially for the text layers.

The Free Selection tool and the Intelligent Scissors are “good enough” if you can’t afford Photoshop. I do not like GIMP’s Fuzzy Select tool, and the By Color tool seems to be redundant. Photoshop’s Lasso tools are absolutely the best, especially the Magnetic Lasso, which seems to know instinctively what you want selected. It's like the common saying, programmers should never write the help manual.Compare GIMP vs Photoshop Selection Tools. I learned so much from our technical writers and production people to fold into my software.

I was on a team which developed CBT software and it was the most educational job I ever had. When you are intimately familiar with a package that you wrote, little things like the output DPI should be handled differently. You need to be able to easily generate a specific size output at high resolution and while InkScape can do that, it is not intuitively obvious to the casual observer as my Diffy Q professor used to say.Īs a software designer in a past life, I'd recommend that technical writers should review the program's operation and not the coders. I think the export dialog box is confusing and don't understand why it works the way it does? I'm not sure who the audience was when InkScape was conceived but if it is aimed towards people creating ads, posters, or book covers the current default doesn't hit the mark. The pHYs setting solved the problems and now my output is as desired.

I'm using the 1.1 development version, which is improved over 1.0 but still seems to miss the mark? If someone could give me a more detailed explanation of how to export and maintain size and resolution, I'd be greatly appreciative. When you are creating an ad or cover, you need to be able to generate a precise size at high resolution so that the output looks good. The layout and general operation seems remarkably similar.

I'm assuming that the goal of InkScape is to be able to perform the same type of operations as CorelDraw. Why does the DPI and output size change?ġ0. If I reset the DPI to 300, my image size goes to 5000 x 7500? If I change the width, then the DPI drops to 96 DPI. Do you have to set the Image size or Page size or both?Ĩ.

I don't understand the Export Settings and the relationship between Page size and Image Size? I've selected "Page" as the export area since I'm trying to export the full document.Ħ. The Scale is set at 1.0 (I'm not sure what scale does but assume the default of 1.0 is reasonable).Ĥ. Using Document Properties, I set the width at 1600 and the height at 2400 px. I use the default pixel template as a starting point.Ģ. What I want to do is design a cover that is 1600px (wide) x 2400px (high) at 300 DPI?ġ. I come from a CorelDraw background and would like to use InkScape for cover design. Could some explain how to export a InkScape document and maintain the size (length and width) along with the DPI?
