If you tried to export EPS files with Inkscape, you know that the result is ugly and doesn’t work on Stock Photography websites. If you tried to sell you Inkscape-made SVG vector files, you know that Stock selling websites want only EPS proprietary format files. So, we need to use a workflow to export EPS files in the correct way.Īre you in Stock Photography? Would you like to sell Vector files? Do you love Opensource and Inkscape?
Unfortunately, all the stock vector websites accept only EPS files and not SVG files. It is the standard interchange format in the print industry and it is widely supported as an export format, but not all programs that claim to support EPS are able to export valuable files of it. The SVG specification is an open standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) since 1999.ĮPS, or Encapsulated PostScript, is Adobe’s proprietary format, but also the most common vector image format in the Apple and Windows world. SVG is a world standard: Scalable Vector Graphics is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics with support for interactivity and animation. Apart from what I think, with Inkscape, an artist can create most of the same illustrations that can be made with Adobe Illustrator. Inkscape is absolutely the best program for vector graphics, in my opinion far superior also to Adobe Illustrator. Vector graphics is a resolution-independent description of the actual shapes and objects that you see in the image. Be sure to set a solid background when exporting to raster formats that don't support transparency.In contrast to raster (also called ‘bitmap’) graphics editors such as Photoshop or GIMP, Inkscape stores its graphics in a vector format. Transparency will also be lost from the image when exported. Inkscape itself continues to not do jpeg compression internally. A popup window is provided to allow you to adjust the compression level and other jpeg settings which are then sent to the external program. If you export using the new Jpeg Raster exporter, your artwork will first be rendered into a PNG file, and then this PNG file will be sent automatically to an external program which does the conversion for you. Some jpeg files can look perfectly fine, but contain imperceptible defects, while others are distorted terribly at the same compression level. This is because of the nature of the mathematics, the high degree of contrast between adjacent pixels in many vector graphics as well as the angles of lines. The problem with the format is that while the file format is good for photos, it creates artifacts and distortions in logos and other flat vector images. It's native output format of PNG could always be converted externally to a jpeg file, but having the format supported natively was a user request for a long time. Inkscape has historically been very reluctant to help users make jpeg files directly from Inkscape.
