CMYK on the horizon too
69 Quite Bitter Beings have been waiting for this for some time
I still remember looking at it (with its super cool sports car illustration) at the top result(s) at Sourceforge (when Sourceforge was the hub for all things open source, back in 2006), downloading each update from whatever computer from uni and bringing it back home to doddle stuff. Inkscape always was in my top 5 tools for uni along with GIMP (and Krita afterwards), Imagemagick, ConTeXt and MetaPost.
Inkscape is fantastic. It’s easier to learn than Ai and you don’t have to pay for it.
Been using Inkscape for about 15 years, probably the most enjoyable software I’ve ever used!
unlike its gimp brother
I wish the Inkscape team would make a raster option. GIMP is just lagging, and we need a solid pixel pusher.
Gimp just released 3.0 rc1.
This would complicate the code behind Inkscape and the user interface a lot. It’s not just having an option to enable raster editing, the entire program must be rewritten, because its not designed to do raster editing. If they started with raster editing, it would be lacking too and the horrors from users would never end. I rather want Inkscape stay focused to what its doing best.
Either use GIMP or Krita. There are already excellent or good enough image editing tools.
Krita is good for illustrating and painting
Yeah that looked good. I just need a photoshop replacement with a modern UI
The thing is Photoshop does a lot of different stuff, like photo manipulation, painting, and pixel art. But it’s not really the best at anything besides photo manipulation probably. So it depends on what you want to do with it.
I need to be able to edit photos, raw files, lossless options, with layers, and a wide selection of touch up tools that can be content aware.
Photoshop is perfect, but I’m not paying for a subscription to a product that I realistically don’t need updates for.
I’d be totally fine using my old copy of photoshop CS if it would run anymore.
Gimp just had a lot of odd UI choices.
Rawtherapee?
I’d also have a look at Darktable.
You have checked Krita? I’m not doing much so it’s more than enough for me.
Yeah, but it’s a little too much about illustration for me. It’s great for that! I just need more of a pixel pusher.
