&gt; Hi<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; That is great information, I will look into these work arounds but I am<br>
&gt; still very disappointed with Inkscape.<br>
&gt; After reading lots of positives about the program I thought that it<br>
&gt; would be very good.<br>
&gt; When I reach my final image with the filter effects applied I can no<br>
&gt; longer edit anything and converting to a bitmap image is like crashing<br>
&gt; your head into a brick wall:(<br>
<br>
</div>Sad to hear you&#39;re having so much trouble. Have you tried the current<br>
development version (0.49)? It has a different renderer and can be quite<br>
a bit faster in certain cases (among other things, the cache has been<br>
improved). There are &quot;nightly&quot; builds available from the site (although<br>
the link seems to be down at the moment, if you have trouble accessing<br>
it, feel free to ask on the list for a build and I or someone else with<br>
Windows will provide it).<br>
<br>
If you still have problems with the development version, I&#39;d love to see<br>
an example of a really bad performing image, to see where the problem lies.<br>
