  • Terrible tut. What was with all the wasted time at the beginning? I didn't think it was ever gonna start. Besides, Photoshop or GIMP are the tools for this job.

  • @Bonjourneau - sorry you thought it was a waste of your time. Thankfully you are in the minority. There are a quite a few bitmap related treatments that are done far quicker and more efficiently in Inkscape or Illustrator than in Photoshop or the Gimp, especially when you are talking about work done for web output.

  • @rfquerin - I should, and will, start with an apology. The intro had me so infuriated that I didn't actually watch your tutorial through. As you say, this is ok for web output and such. I'm new to Inkscape. It looks like a terrific program, but I've had fun producing pictures like this simply and as quickly with the GIMP, which is another terrific free program. Once the hair-pulling intro was over, you explained your technique very succinctly though. Good stuff.

  • @Bonjourneau - well there is a method to my madness. We've now done over 100 Inkscape screencasts over at our site screencasters dot heathenx dot org and I still do the sped up intros for my portion of them (there are two of us doing them). My reasoning is that I want to give the person a very quick idea of what the tutorial will let them do without wasting their time having to watch the whole thing to find out. I try to keep them at 30sec or so, but this was one of my first.

  • YOU DIDNT MAKE THIS!!!!!! screencasters.heatenex made it!!!!

  • LOL. Actually, I am one half of the team at screencasters. So stop yelling at me.

    Apology accepted. ;)

  • Once you are done, you select everything and choose File->Export to Bitmap. This will get you a png file. Then you can either use that or convert it into a jpeg using The Gimp or Photoshop or something else.
