📱 What screen recorder am I using?
I use Camtasia to make all my videos. From my experience it's the best screen recorder available, and I like the built in video editor and cursor effects. Check it out here: techsmith.z6rjha.net/ba9x0M

QR Code generator extension can also generate code not only with squares, but also with circles (dots). You can change it in "shapes" tab.

[@IronEchoDesign]

Very cool. I’ll start playing with it. Thank you!

Welcome back Rick! I have made my custom QR codes in Affinity for a while, where I can clip objects (eg our company logo) inside the QR code in a non-destructive way. I think Inkscape has a similar function albeit perhaps more destructive. Maybe you could show how it works in a future video? Thank you as always. Btw, inkscape had the QR feature way longer than Affinity. Plus Affinity do not have a barcode extension. So well done Inkscape! 😁

[@EJBS1991]

the QR extension was there this whole time ! awesome

[@IronEchoDesign]

Seriously! I totally forgot about it.

[@AbdulAbdul-yq5op]

Welcome back we miss you

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you so much. Means a lot. ❤️

[@philipp.dauenhauer]

Thank you Rick! Finally another tutorial. I like them very much! Many greetings from Germany

[@btoreyes]

Thanks Rick! Very nice Tutorial and Example of Creating the QR. Appreciate it. Master!

[@IronEchoDesign]

Haha. Thanks so much!

[@imdxpertm]

Hey Rick, good to see you back. 😊

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thanks!! Good to be back in action.

[@Inkscape-tutorial-pl]

You know what I just discovered? You can use any object as a "brick" for QR code. In "Symbols" tab you can input any object ID. So you can create QR Code with hearts, triangles, stars, etc. Magic! :D

[@IronEchoDesign]

Amazing. Just got out of Inside Out 2. I’m trying this when I get back. Very cool stuff.

[@boldfacedtruth]

Wonderful tutorial as usual. Thank you!

[@keepitshort4208]

Had a question is it possible to cut out portions of the images without using the brush tool ? As in turning the image black and white and only keeping the area that is white and removing the black areas, for example there is a path and grass at both side, you only want the path and remove the grass area.

[@Badgerr99]

Hi Rick, how did you change the squares to circles ?

[@jakemorden8544]

Here we go again. Great tutorial. Recently I was following the tutorial you've made about using spray tool, but it didn't work, it sprays on transparent areas, even though that feature was unabled, I'm using the recent version 1.4.

[@boldfacedtruth]

I have this same issue

[@Inkscape-tutorial-pl]

1.4 hasn't been released yet. Errors like this can happen. Please report an error on this issue.

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thanks! I’ll look into it. Haven’t made the switch to 1.4 yet.

Noice ! If you gotta be in the matrix , be Neo.

Hello Mister. Can you make a tutorial for 3D text effect with LPE (Live Path Effect) so that the text can be editable? 😊🙏 3D text effect that we often see on promotional or advertisement posters. Bold, Beveled, Shiny, and has depth.

[@arale1402]

When someone calls us Western foreigners "Mister" (no matter what gender), I immediately think this person must be from Indonesia. Haha, apa kabar? 🙂

Sometimes I fear that you can read my mind.😁😁.

я думал, можно интегрировать рисунок в код, как динозаврик в гугл
