Yes, well not exactly... I'm conscious of the differences of Raster and Vector graphics. I only export those elements I want to fine tune. If anyone uses Linux, then using Scribus is another possibility, which means a better PDF exporter than that of Inkscape's native one, which then means no need for GIMP, and direct manipulation of the SVG within Scribus itself, as it supports the format (I ignore if inkscape specifics are lost, like blur effects and the like) when manipulating directly the SVG within scribus. Another way to do this, is to export image portions to a separate raster format in a higher DPI modify as needed in GIMP,
If I understand this correctly, for my purposes, saving to something like .png and converting, or saving to .eps, are better options...
Yes?
No ;). If you want PDFs which are real PDFs (i.e. with the elements you draw in Inkscape that stay vectors) with included images at 300dpi you should follow the advice of Horvath Andras in an earlier email: tweak your raster images *before* importing them in Inkscape so that they have their final size and a 300dpi resolution, import them in your Inkscape document, scale them to their correct size (when Inkscape imports images, it scales them so that they have 90dpi resolution, so you 300 dpi images will appear very large and you have to scale them down to their real size to have them at 300dpi), draw whatever you want to draw, and then export the whole drawing to PDF directly in Inkscape. Just to be sure that this is what you need, what do you want to use these PDFs for?
