You don't lose money when people use a competitors service/product over yours. That money wasn't yours to lose.

Yet, the companies cry about losing money due to online piracy. At this point it's eΕΊtremally funny
for me, anyway, they didn't lose money because if i couldn't pirate it, I just wouldn't watch. I'm told this is a common thought process

Tell that to all of the monopolies that have totally captured a market segment.
Also shouting out Krita as a Photoshop alternative for digital painting, digital art.
How is its CMYK profiles in your opinion?
People like him are why I still have hope in tech. May the machine bless him eternally.
It seems just fitting that he wears a hat that you need bezier curves to draw perfectly with vector graphics!
The only time I used Adobe Illustrator was when it was brand new, in 1987. I may have used early versions of Photoshop, but never as my "daily driver." So I might not be the most knowledgeable about Adobe software.
But the thing I MOST resent Adobe for was buying and killing Macromedia... I really really liked Macromedia Fireworks (raster, vector, and object graphics editor). Fireworks could do a lot of the things Adobe software could for a fraction of the price AND without having to use multiple applications to get the job done.
Inkscape is remarkable, and maybe someday someone will merge some raster image object tools into it, and then it might begin to resemble the Fireworks of 20 years ago when Adobe killed it.
He has a Samson Meteor microphone. Same as mine. He is cool in my book :D
I have the same shityy little speakers too, good for the price point though
Ive used both inskape and illustrator and inkscape is better and has been better ux wise since day 1 for me.
I'm not a pro but do some shit from time to time. Between Inkscape and Gimp I never needed anything else for images. If only Gimp had better tools for animated gifs... still serviceable tho haven't tried the new Gimp yet.
But GIMP can be improved whenever you wish, Adobe cannot
Yes that's true glaring difference between wanting to help others and wanting to rip money.
Thank you, Mr. Owens. From the bottom of my heart. InkScape is my favourite graphics tool.
Thank you Martin and Inkscape-team!
Any Inkscape pros know the best way to combine two pdfs using it? The page creation menus are clunky to me, and it's hard to keep the pages in order.
Do you really need inkscape to do it? Because you can just use pdfsam.
or pdfarranger works well, too.
Or pdftk or pdfunite. Lots of different options
Yeah. Open one PDF normally. File > import a second one and select whatever option imports by appending pages.
Not all heroes wear capes.

Inkscape is good but it can't replace illustrator, especially for the needs of someone willing to pay $1000/year for it
Maybe the affinity suite is more appropriate (ROI in just 2 months of adobe subscription)
I've designed banners and flags in Inkscape, convention signage, even electoral campaign materials like business cards, handcards, campaign signs. A great tool
Nice. Anyone who takes money from Adobe is a hero to me.
