Nothing about filter effects in SVG should prevent them being printed at enormous sizes, at least in principle. It's just added some more parameters to the vector file. Adding a filter effect to an SVG file doesn't turn it into a raster file - it's still vector. I agree 100% when it comes to saving as a PDF, because that entails "premature" rasterisation.īut filter effects applied to an SVG file - whether in Inkscape, a web browser, or some other application - only create the raster data at the point of rendering the image, when the whole thing is rasterised anyway. You can print images up to 1,50m/8m, with an 1200 dpi resolution =about 70866 pixels/3775952 pixels, which is impossible to handle as rasters. Vectors could handle much larger images, than any raster image -in that case, rasterised filter- could follow. Not that it would be a problem for any fixed -and small- image size to be used like on wallpapers, but with print ready files. Lazur URH wrote:The save as pdf was on my mind. You don't have the fine control over it that you would get with a gradient mesh, but other than that, am I missing something in your argument? In that sense I don't see why you should consider it to be a problem. Equally a blur is a few parameters that are rendered to a raster when used. So a rectangle in SVG is a few parameters that are rendered to a raster when used. It's not stored as a raster, but is rather recalculated each time - so if you export a higher resolution version of your image you'll also get a higher resolution version of the blur. The blur filter is stored as a collection of parameters that are applied to the SVG at the point of rendering. Ultimately it's rare for SVG files to be used to create a true vector output - just vinyl cutters, pen plotters and so on - and in most cases the output device results in a raster image. Yes, blurring creates a rasterised version of the vector input, but then so does displaying an SVG on-screen or printing it out. Lazur, I'm intrigued by your views on this. Until gradient mesh will work properly in inkscape, there is no "good" svg solution -vector solution- for that built in.

I have found one tutorial with turbulence / color matrix effect combinations but the effect I thought I could use turned out to be a no go.Ĭould You please help me (with as many details as possible) with creating such effect? I was searching for phrases like silk cloth inkscape silver wave and variations of those but I cannot find anything that would even be close to it. I received the theme in svg format from the person that worked on the artwork however I was told the the background (silverish silky cloth) is a png image and that the person does not have svg version of it. This is the current theme for PCLinuxOS 64bit. I like doing it and discovering some effects is really giving me a lot of satisfaction. As You could see in the link I posted above I am creating a scalable versions of the badges for the laptops / desktops (using current distros theme elements). I love to tinker with graphics and I love to be able to do something for the community hence my current project. To be honest - I love Inkscape just as much as I love Gimp. I am hoping that it's ok to post the link to this gallery. I watched HeathenX videos and tried to follow them with okish results that could be viewed here but that's as much as my experience goes. I am NOT an artist nor do I posses the skills / soul to become one. I use Inkscape (currently in version 0.48) for a bit now but I am a so called "noob". My name is Andrzej and I am an ArchLinux (ex PCLinuxOS but still active in the forums / community) user.
