Inkscape tip: closed paths in SVG are designated with a Z code. So, to find all the closed paths in a file, simply do a search for Z in the object properties

Testing colorspace conversion using #Scribus, #Krita, #Gimp 3, and back to its master environment in #Inkscape (top right). The 3 look dull because they're no longer #RGB. #Print designers know this.

Screenshots of the same design being worked on in Scribus, Inkscape, Krita and Gimp. This is part of next video lesson in plan.

We heard that #GIMP 3 stable is finally out just a few hours ago? So dramatic, right after our Early Access offer ends!

Interactive design software as a niche had a bit of fragmentation for years. We looked at #Penpot. It's web-based like #Figma, with some ppl said even surpasses the latter in areas such as the #flex bit.

Should've done a #graphicdesign feature instead, considering our existing lessons are focused on that, but just for a general teaser:
This is how a basic rig in #Friction could work. Pretty neat stuff!

You know that feeling of ease jumping into creating & animating right away bcs you already knew the previous tool back to back? This is it. There hasn't been a better time to pick up Friction! github.com/friction2d/f...

Finally braved testrunning #GIMP 3, needless to say the first 15min was LIT
Splash here says RC2 but this is actually RC3. Feels ready for official stable. Pending producing graphics lessons using Gimp proven the right step; v2.10 will be skipped.

Did a quick investigation on whether #MyPaint can be used for #comics #art & how it fares on technical aspects e.g. deploying panel frames, export settings etc.
This at one point needs to be in the curriculum👍

Workspace of MyPaint software run on Linux, with a demo of a comics interior page in progress. Brush tip & size can be saved as "favorite" to be summoned for performing specific tasks, e.g. we want the same stroke width (and even color) for the comics panel frame.

#GIMP re #photoshop —what you don't miss:
Magic wand!

Here it's called Fuzzy Select.
Settings are available for how granular you want it be. If you're into #photoretouch now you know you're covered!🥳

Video coming to a wrap! Just a lil final touch.

Maybe a softlaunch for the first lesson release. Design a brochure not using #Illustrator and maintain your creative workflow's sovereignty. Yes it's doable.

#GIMP suxxx! I can't even whateverwasassumedcannotbedone

First, panning the viewport is a good start, bcs it gives you a sense of control over your work. Here's how.

Raw VO recording takes are 7 sessions, as I took breaks in between, part of techniques to reduce clicking sound 😇

This is the workspace of audio software Tenacity, a fork of the famous Audacity, while working on the voiceover—yes, we actually use FOSS in production!

This is a great milestone!
Although it comes in Flatpak & the prospect of it overriding the existing #Gimp v2.10's workspace settings prohibits us from giving it a run atm. Can't wait for stable release. If you're on Win/Mac, go for it.

For the 3rd episode of How to Design Business Collaterals #withoutAdobe we'll probably go back to using #Shotcut.
Script is in the work.👍
