Registration marks for printing
by Ben Powers 26 Nov '05

26 Nov '05

Hello! I need to know if Inkscape is able to produce registration marks from several channels on a drawing. What I mean is that I have a drawing with 3 channels (white black and grey), each with their own dimensions, but overlapping, black on grey on white. I need to print the grey image on a white paper, and then the black image on top of that. The method I'm using is photo- emulsion printing. In photo emulsion printing, one coats a screen in a light-sensitive emulsion, then exposes that screen to light with the image (in opaque) in between the light source and the screen. The areas where the light reaches the emulsion become hard, and the unexposed regions wash out, creating a negative of the image, which is then printed much like any other silkscreen print. In my image, I need to place both channels on one screen, and then register them on the page using registration marks in the corners. Can inkscape do this? Blessed Be, Bennyp

Large SVG won't export to PNG--need some help
by Benjamin Orchard 26 Nov '05

26 Nov '05

I have a largish (7+ MB) file (high-res: 7200x7200 px). When I try to export this file the program crashes very consistently. I have tried this on several machines, and so I am forced to consider the _very_ ugly possibility that I will have to recreate this from scratch. This would go fairly quickly, but we are talking about a rather complex document here that I just don't want to redo. I have vacuumed the defs, but that didn't help. If anyone has any idea about the best aproach to healing files, I would greatly appreciate it. I have also checked that the computers in question will export other files, and they do that just fine. As a semi-side note, one of the times this happened, it also corrupted the svg quite nastily (when I opened it in a text-editor, it was completely garbled), and I had to recreate the file from a somewhat dated backup. I now keep *much* better backups, but this is getting to be a real issue. I even tried opening said file in GIMP (which will open svgs), but this crashed the GIMP! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Benjamin Orchard

Brightness

I have an image downloaded from openclipart. Is there a way to change the brightness of the entire image in inkscape? I would like to do this so that I can use the image as a watermark. Thanks.

Re: [Inkscape-user] A nicer look for Inkscape/MacOS X: easy to implement

> I have followed Ben Powers' advice to change the interface aspect > from a somewhat austere X11 look to a nicer Aqua look (see > http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.user/3967) I'd like this. I usually use Inkscape on my Linux computer, but I'm trying to get my wife to use it more, on the Mac. Having the nicer looking theme on the Gimp helped her make the transition more easily. I've never actually been successfully building GTK on OSX, and don't have developer tools on her machine, so I don't know that I can actually help on this, but I would definitely cheer for it. :-) Thanks, -- Michael Moore ------------------------------- www.stuporglue.com -- Articles, software and computer tutorials. www.stuporglue.org -- Donate your used computer to a student that needs it.

A nicer look for Inkscape/MacOS X: easy to implement
by H.Fagard 24 Nov '05

24 Nov '05

Hi all, I have followed Ben Powers' advice to change the interface aspect from a somewhat austere X11 look to a nicer Aqua look (see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.user/3967) Could this be included in the next releases of Inkscape's MacOS X distribution? A preference setting might also be added to allow selecting between this theme and the original one (in case some Mac users still prefer it). Thanks in advance, Herve

Sugg:put options in main window
by Ben Powers 24 Nov '05

24 Nov '05

hi-ho I have an interface suggestion/request: put the options such as fill and stroke, font, font-size, etc in the main window, perhaps along the bottom edge, or in a control pane I use inkscape frequently to create diagrams for my studies, particularily in biology. I feel I could do this much more quickly and efficiently if I didn't have to switch back and forth between dialog boxes. here's a gimpy mockup i made real quick of one possible interface: Blessed Be, Bennyp
