Comparable program tutorials
I was wondering since tutorials are severely lacking in Inkscape. Which program(s) (Illustrator, Coreldraw, ....) is Inkscape the most comparable to in terms of functionality. Because I seen where people have taken for instance Photoshop tutorials and replicated them in the Gimp. Which program's tutorials could best be done in Inkscape?

There are good tutorials in the Help menu.
Which program(s) (Illustrator, Coreldraw,....)
Inkscape is better than them :)
Okay, it is just different. I would say the functionality is just about on par with Freehand 8 or 9 (my last Windows apps), but it's really improving at a frantic pace.

Just read the help, which is easy, and play with the app. It ain't rocket science. There is also a really good online manual at: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/index.php

thanks for the link. i'm trying to build a library of printed and online manuals for open source software. so far i have links for blender, ooo and gimp. these are from their support site. if you know of any other manual for these programs, i would appreciate a note.

I'd say Corel Draw or Xara. I've a friend who used Corel Draw and Xara in the past and whenever I show him some new feature in Inkscape he tells me Corel has had a similar one for a long time. Also, the location of icons and pallettes is similar to Corel Draw.

Yeah, but Inkscape is imho by far easier to use (particularly shortcuts & bezier curves, which are *way* 'smoother' than what I personally experienced both with the free version of Xara Xtreme and CorelDRAW 7 (not sure about the current version). What I'm still missing in Inkscape are some features included in 'Canvas', particularly the great gradient editor. One can apply gradients to strokes, or even beveled strokes.

Ink0.45 (at least) can apply gradients to strokes. I agree that the gradient editor is hard to use. Blender has a good example of an easy gradient editor.
