Hi Jean-Marc,

The approach is more flexible in Inkscape as a spline remains a spline, a vector object. In The GIMP or Photoshop you have to convert it to a path,
Isn't a path vectorized, as well?
But Inkscape supports masks ! You can define a vector object as a mask. For example use a circle as a mask for a box so it has a hole, a bit like include/exclude in CAD.
I'm still using Inkscape 0.42, because I'm having difficulties to upgrade from Ubuntu "Breezy" to "Edgy" (where newer libraries are available), but I'm really waiting to try the latest Inkscape version (masks? wow!) with new features like the Gaussian Blur, etc.
I basically stumbled onto this approach (bitmap editing) after using a demo version of discreet's paint*.
Thanks,
Claus
Claus,
Have you tried installing the autopackage of Inkscape? It works really well. I haven't tested the latest autopackage in Breezy, but it would be easy for you to see if it works. If it doesn't, it's also really easy to uninstall (like uninstalling an Ubuntu package) and reinstall the Ubuntu package.
Cheers, Loïc
