The Inkscape CMYK RPG Session

[@eldelacajita]

This is great! I loved how the different stories diverged and converged at some points.

[@EKOrTT]

This was a great experiment, really interesting to see

[@DaveJeffery]

Lovely to see the amount of time spent on the Replace Color dialog box as this is your best friend. Scribus does this really, really well. I even managed to get metallic gold ink as a spot colour for transfers for the side of a tram once.

[@GaryParris]

yeah i have used Scribus and Krita to get the desired CMYK output ready from print via PDF. so to have it in Inkscape will be excellent

[@doctormo]

I wonder, could you send me that pdf file you made? An example of a spot color would be very valuable.

[@Artiick]

Was not expecting to see a dragon and it completely caught me off guard lmao

[@Guibock]

This is really a nice experiment. Thank you Martin!

[@toxiccan175]

The less friction I have to proof CMYK and the less menus I have to navigate to change settings, the better! My biggest qualm with modern UI designs is that things are hidden in one of multiple possible places and often times multiple layers deep. This is particularly troublesome when there is no universal search for the menu.

[@theophiled]

imo a good example is blender, you can search every pannel and search globally, if inkscape had that it would be awesome

[@dataloting]

Inkscape, in fact, has an universal search for all menus and settings triggered with the `?` key, if I'm not wrong.

[@tebicap]

pdf-export Preferences dialog options should be saved in the svg file once any of the preferences are changed (by the user) from the default values (IMO)

[@altrogeruvah]

I love how collaborative, but directly actionable these experiments are

[@obkf-too]

This is awesome, getting feedback from the users this way will help producing an intuitive experience for most people (hopefully). As for the beginner, I hope that the process would be more explicit, rather than selecting pdf CMYK and OK, I would like to see an indicator showing the color mode, and when the user have to go to color>convert to CMYK(or rgb if already CMYK). That way the user sees the change and can decide to export or tweak further.

[@mermerico2]

Fantastic video. Not only did you do a great job "DM"ing these sessions, the editing and forming a cohesive narrative from these sessions was amazing!

[@ButtonPressGraphics]

By no stretch of the imagination am I a pro at CMYK. In fact, I have very limited knowledge regarding the nuisances of CMYK. However, with that said, I found it fascinating to see other user's thought processes on what would be the ideal workflow for using it. This was a really good idea on your part Martin. I think I need to learn more about CMYK for future reference but at the moment, it is simply not something I use very often.

[@GaryParris]

excellent work. :O) as always looking forward to the CMYK work flow in the vector application, it will be an absolute positive step forward for inkscape. Hopefully we will start to see a more stable application for those who want to use it professionally for CMYK process. both will put the application up there with the alternatives

[@GraphicDesignStudio]

Hi Martin, Can you u make a video - How to start developing Inkscape (for beginners )

[@victorwestmann]

THIS WOULD BE SUPER GOLD! I'd love to have an introductory video on how to develop plugins for Inkscape!!

[@GraphicDesignStudio]

@@victorwestmann thanks for considering about tutorial on Inkscape Development.

[@Beryesa.]

Would be nice

[@johnpapadopoulos5687]

This is great! Imagine Adobe doing this..? Hahahahha.... One thing I would.add.is an option for.advanced CMYK settings so you can keep things simple if needed and go.with some automatic optimal options. An option for.text being converted to true black is mandatory.

[@Beryesa.]

Excellent video, love the effort :D

[@stuartm8335]

Well done for doing this. The beginner user automatic mode should also be able to flag issues that may get the file sent back again from the printer . Maybe even a list saying here is what has been set re profile name to give them a chance to match what the printer may have requested. How auto would auto be? Would it do the type of nice things the pros talked about doing every time re blacks and channels. What about images . A side by side preview would possibly be nice.

[@ManthaarJanyaro]

This will obviously improve the Inkscape as users want it to be (specially where to find a particular tool/functions).

[@alexandrekarvalhooficial944]

Seria bom se tivéssemos a possibilidade de configurar o arquivo antes de criarmos, já na janela de início como acontece com gimp por exemplo, e também a opção de converter o arquivo como acontece no scribus. Acredito em vocês Martin e equipe e pelo visto do cmyk do Inkscape vai ser o melhor de todos.

[@aussieandy67]

I'm a Printer by Trade. We have our Printers Blend if you want what we call true black, nothing will show through it. C-60 M-40 Y-40 K-100

[@lpanebr]

Congrats! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@galihkurniad]

I really hope that Inkscape will someday has a dedicated tool that can create Editable 3D Text easily like in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. You know, 3D text effect (Beveled, Bold, Shiny, Stacked, 3D Perspective, etc.) It is possible to create 3D text effect in Inkscape for now, but it's just not convenient to do it and not editable. Clone LPE to create 3D Text Effect in Inkscape makes Inkscape forced close so much.

[@doctormo]

I don't of anyone who's working on this feature. Do you know anyone your end who wants to pay for it to be made?

[@FAMILIANKS10]

OOOHHH MY GOD ,THANK YOU

[@BarbaraTostes]

Supercooooool ❤❤❤

[@aoi_hi]

Hey , I don't want to remember all the shortcuts key, so can you make option to create macro function which saves on command tools. So that I can do my job done peacefully

[@doctormo]

You can set keyboard shortcuts for any action in inkscape, including command tools.

[@dezenho]

this is .... why dont you ask want software they are using is adobe, affinify, corel ,canvax, i think if you see corel and color manager will be fine as a vector edit program and i listen someone that is print production that is more like esko artpro that is not important to comom users like gamma corrention is bulshit,,,,,
