@@IronEchoDesign Hey Rick, well I followed your tut using an old design but can't load it yet cause I might have stepped on some ones copyright, but the design is great! thanks. I'm a bit confused about the custom colour palette, I've checked out other vids but while I'm thinking it looks easy I screw it up, "who'd a thunk that?" do you have any vids that cover it? I couldn't see any. Thanks PS I'm getting by without custom palettes but?

@IronEchoDesign 2 жыл бұрын

Do you mean the squares on the canvas? You can make the color palette with the Squares and Rectangles Tool. Draw open a square for as many colors as you want, and chsnge the fill for each one. I put the color pslette on the canvas for speed during the tutorial. It doesnt exist the first time i make a design, unless i bring in one I've used before.

And the “objects…” with object layer dropdown is another thing I wasn’t aware of.

Can you make a video on how does Inkscape deals with colors for printing (CMYK)?

@IronEchoDesign 2 жыл бұрын

Now that's a great question. I'll do some more research on the subject. It comes up quite a bit as one of the program's drawbacks. From my experience with Print on Demand at least, the outlets I use have done great with RGB. However, I understand some high end printers and screen printing want CMYK.

I love how you explain all the details while you are creating. I am brand new to inkscape! There's alot! Anyway, I was following along perfect until you picked the geometric construction symbol. I've searched everywhere for it. Any ideas? I cant find it. I just recently downloaded inkscape, with in cpl months. Thank you for what you do.

@IronEchoDesign Жыл бұрын

Thank you! They removed the geometric construction tool. I loved having the convenience of it. The mirror functionality is still part of Inkscape- it was just moved to Live Path Effects. It's found under Mirror Symmetry. The Mandala videos I have show some of the uses. Hope this helps!

No problem. To detach- once you have the text the way you want it, select the text and choose Object- Object to Path. That will make it independent of the guide circle.

Great Tutorial. I'm hobbling through. All my buttons look different. Specifically can't find the snapping guides. What version are you using here? I have 1.0.2-2 (e86c870879, 2021-01-15) which I think it is the latest.

@IronEchoDesign Жыл бұрын

Thanks, and I should update this video. Made this tutorial before the current Inkscape versions were out. Now the snapping guides are in the upper right hand corner, and you have to hit the triangle next to the magnet icon to see all the options. Hope this helps!

Thank you for the lessons! Unfortunately, I can't replicate the lesson - I don't have the sticky panel at the top of the Inkscape program. In general, the new version is a bit different from the old one I'm used to.

@IronEchoDesign 6 ай бұрын

Thanks! Yes, the new versions have tweaked quite a bit. Mostly for the better though. The side menu might be able to get back on top by going to View- and towards the bottom of the dropdown menu deselect Widescreen if you see it selected. Hope this helps!

Good question. If you're on a PC, you should have a built in tool called Snip & Sketch or Snipping Tool. Click the Windows start icon on the bottom desktop menu and start typing "snip". It should pop up and you can then do screen captures. Let me know if that works!

Yes! Go to View in the very top menu, and in the dropdown that appears look towards the bottom. You'll see choices of Default, Custom, and Wide. Click Custom and that should put the toolbars like I have in this video. Hope this helps!

You can create a color palette by making the squares with the square tool. If the color codes aren't listed in the description, one option is to screenshot the video and use color picker to fill the squares to match the video. Hope this helps!

Do you guys have a suggestion

Hello! I've been there. I have an older laptop that I still use here and there. It crashes my Inkscape too when I try to do more complicated functions. I believe the problem is not enough RAM. There are ways to upgrade RAM on an old device, but at this point I'm probably going to wait until I have a need for a new laptop and go that route. Hope this helps!
