Hey thanks for your reply. All the info is very helpful and answered all my questions. I was a little ambitious with some of my first efforts and they all have gradients, so I will save/convert them to a raster format and upload them here eventually.
I now need a good tutorial about giving objects depth without using gradients, I can't visualise that easily, so will need to cheat by being shown how it is done. Off to look for some now.
I had a look through your port to get an idea of what can be achieved and am V. impressed with what you have done.
thanks for your help. posted in Inkscape users. Newbie needs advice.
Hope you can all help. I have decided to try to create vector images. I have downloaded Inkscape.
At some point I will need to upload the fruits of my labours, and need to know what limitations we have. I have done a little reading around, and have not quite got to grips how to use Inkscape in relation to microstock
I have been saving my files as Inkscape SVG.
Question One:How do I save them for Microstock> Do you need a JPG and a 'vector file' (eps?? SVG??)
Question Two:Also I recall reading somewhere that vector files for microstock cannot have gradient fills (and transparency, whatever that is? opacity amount??). Is this correct?
Question Three: Finally (for now), in inkscape how do I finish my image? When I am designing, I have the original document with all the shapes and paths on this. Some shapes and paths overlap the boundaries of the document, so how do I chop everything to size, or line things up with the edge of the document.
Please answer only in relation to Inkscape.
Also, I would like to see what Inkscape is capable of and would like to see some of your work that was created with Inkscape only.
Thank you all posted in Inkscape users. Newbie needs advice.
