Re: [Inkscape-user] CMYK-safe color maps.

I know this isn't a very scientific method, but still :-) I'd import the color map to inkscape or GIMP and use the gamut warning to "mask" out of gamut colors. then capture the "masked" palette, then re-create the palette using the captured values. CMYK-Safe colors depend on the output CMYK profile, so it's probably impossible to have a generic "safe" palette without using a specific profile as starting point. I'm pretty sure this isn't the best way to do it (there has to be a programatic way to do it using RGB and CMYK profiles to compile a palette, but I don't know how to do it). IIrc the program Swatchbooker allows to choose profiles to "convert" palettes, but I could never make it work. hth, Gez

Distorting text.
by john Culleton 15 Sep '11

15 Sep '11

Came across a string of text on a book cover where the first letter leans to the left, the last leans to the right, the middle character is upright and all the others have a lean dictated by their location with respect to the left or right end points. What filter should I be looking for? -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Continuing with svg on the web.
by john Culleton 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

I know that Google and perhaps others try to analyze the text in PDF files for purposes of SEO. Does the same hold true for svg? Since the svg file is essentially plain text it seems to me that it would be easier for a web crawler to scan svg as compared to pdf. -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Plain versus inkscape enhanced svg and SEO.

I have been experimenting with inkscape output for use as web pages. Most browsers will handle inkscape but some earlier browsers on Mac systems won't. Does anyone know whether the use of plain svg or inkscape svg affects the acceptability of the svg file as a web page? -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Hi there, is there a way to dock the "New document/Open/Save,..." toolbar to the top of the working space instead of the "far east" right side? It doesn't seem to work here with 0.48. -- Cheerz, Lars

Imprting book cover.
by john Culleton 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

I want to display a book cover. It is currently in pdf form but I can save it in any of a number of other formats. When I saved it in svg (from Scribus) the file was huge and the image was distorted. so that is out. That leaves PDF or a variety of bitmap choices. I am thinking of png or tiff. I want fidelity and reasonable size in the final svg file. Any recommendations? -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
