Inkscape 1.2 is Phenomenal

godotDcoding

My favourite structured drawing software since the mid-90's has been CorelDRAW 4. IMHO, nothing ever touched it... until now.

But Inkscape 1.2 is absolutely brilliant. Until this morning, I've had to jump back and forth between Photoshop and older versions of Inkscape to create graphics for Godot, but with the 1.2 version, Inkscape just became my one-stop graphics creation tool.

You seriously have to check it out.

I think Inkscape has been quite usable since version 0.9. It's a great program with great features. Of course, when switching from CorelDRAW, it takes a bit of adjusting.

I've used inkscape for years, and it's great, but the controls don't suit me as well as gimp's, and there are some annoying ambiguities in the filtering system -- though that's more to do with the limitations of svg files. At least with a bitmap, you know exactly what you'll get out of it.

I used to use inkscape a lot in designing custom cards for my pathfinder card games.

I've been using Inkscape for all my avatars, icons and other UI elements.

Does Inskscape has some sort of Vectorization feature? I've been looking for an alternative to Adobe Illustrator that has some sort of Vectorization feature.

If I could find some sort of sort of open source software that has this vectorization feature, I could turn all my drawings digital with ease.

Yeah, they've had that for a long time, it's called trace bitmap. I haven't used it in a long time.

Wow! If only I knew before! Major Thanks!

I didn't mean to mislead anyone. I, too, have been using Inkscape for years and agree it's been quite usable all that time. (I didn't mean to imply that it isn't/wasn't.)

But it was far from being my favourite structured drawing software. Now, with this latest release, it is.

Just wanted to set the record straight. :)

I should try Inkscape again, maybe I’ll give the latest version a spin :)
