Ever since Adobe killed Macromedia Freehand (back in the distant past) I've been a loyal Inkscape user. It simply keeps improving and has become quite a beast.

@gmlaster Ай бұрын

FreeHand was LIGHTYEARS ahead of Illustrator. I was heartbroken to see it go. I only just recently tried Inkscape because I'm being asked to teach a free alternative to Illustrator. I wasn't really looking forward to it, but BOY...am I impressed! My only complaint was things like the anemic font system and the filters that I was gonna have to look through one by one in 1.3. This solves my problem. I hope this version is reasonably stable so I can show it off to my students.

@LeoPlaw Ай бұрын

@@gmlaster Agreed! It never made sense to me that Adobe killed off the better product. I even ran Illustrator on Linux using Wine for a time until I mastered Inkscape. I think the modern Inkscape now comes up to scratch with Inkscape. Good to hear you are introducing your students to Open Source software. They need to know there are other viable options to the increasingly restrictive commercial software.

@franknord4826 2 ай бұрын

Finally, useful font selection again! Before Inkscape had the current font selector, it had one without a font preview, but in which you could just click and then use arrow keys to change the text to another font to immediately see what your text looked like. That they deprecated that one has been my main pain point for years now and I'm glad we're finally getting one with preview *and* cursor key navigation. Also, shoutout for the League of Movable Type fonts. :D

The font improvement is going to be a game changer for sure! Also, text on path is a bit of a problem for me. I can put text on a path, but if I want to invert the text, I can’t seem to do so. (I.e. putting text around a circular path, but inverting the text at the bottom to be legible in one orientation) I keep learning more with Inkscape, as I too use it for logos, as well as some illustrations.

The filter gallery should live preview the effects when you click/focus on a filter, and then make it fixed to the object when you hit apply-exactly how the unified font browser applies to text.

Nick, have you got any videos on bevel filters or indeed any other Inkscape effects that would be suitable for a logo involving a tiling mosaic ? I have looked through the existing filters but the only thing near this tile edge effect is the Filters > Bevels > Raised Ridge . . . But this has the "grout" sticking up instead of lying below the level of the tiles as it is in reality. It also makes the overall logo a bit dimmer and fuzzier, as if the view was through a dull glass. Any ideas are welcome and I love your videos 🐬

@PINKALIMBA Ай бұрын

Hope to have a "Simplified" feature to reduce the number of nodes just like Illustrator. I do a lot of objects union, intersection, different, break apart. That increases the number of nodes in my final product and I find it hard to clean up the nodes in Inkscape.
