Ok thanks Brynn, it was the opacity slider bar that was not at 100%

I tried imgh.us to get that svg file up, but I got an error that says: Files with the file type are not allowed, this is for image files only. Do I have to create an account to get that up there? The problem I noticed when I converted text to path was a really weird one: when I did that, and saved t...

Ok, here's the dialog box.......not sure what rasterizing filter effects means but I do have that ticked off - I think it's got something to do with the blur effect on the doubled up text?

I've clicked on each piece in my document, and the only info that seems to be of any relevance is that the raster image in there is 4000x3200. I've got one layer that has a radial fill to it, could that be what is making the end PDF file so big? The PNG file is 2 megabytes, that is fine for me to up...

Hi Moini - I just don't understand how to attach an SVG file?

Ok, I figured it out - I converted each text piece to path first instead of trying to group them first

Thanks!

Hi Lazur, I checked both files, I did not convert the text to path on either, so they would still be vectors. When I save as PDF, rasterize filter effects is ticked on, is it supposed to be ticked on? It's the blue pink layer I changed to green brown that is the only thing I changed up. I did it the...

Hi, I am making an image in Inkscape in one color. Then I am making that same image in a different color. When I go to save the images to PDF, the first PDF document properties say it is 9.5 megabytes, and the second one is saying it is 31.7 megabytes. Why would it do this? I did not add another lay...

Hi, I want to convert all my text to path so that it will print properly with it's shadow (on someone else's printer) as a pdf file. I created some text, duplicated it, then blurred and reduced opacity on the bottom layer of text, creating a nice shadow. I have a few pieces of text on an 8x10" ...

Ok thanks Lazar

Lazar, So, if I made an image that is 8x10", just go back to the setup and change the settings to 5x7", then save it, and keep changing it to whatever I need? I'm not printing it out for the customer, they have to do that, I doubt they would be trying to print on canvas, they're just small...

Hi Moini - I just want to list some printable images for the public as instant digital downloads, so no, I am not selling to a particular shop. Lazur, just by listing the image on Amazon and elsewhere, if someone likes what they see, they pay for it and download the file. But I just don't understand...

Hi, I would like to make some printables for sale online, but am currently confused as to how to set the size for a drawing in Inkscape. For example, a seller might say that a purchase includes 20 different sizes such as: - 4x6" - 4x6" with crop marks for easy trimming - 5x7" - 5x7&qu...

Ok thanks, Lazar

Thanks Tylerdurden, Lazar! Lazar, are you saying that if I have dropshadows (by blurring a copy of text underneath the top layer of text) in my document and I convert it to PDF, those will not show up? How do I rasterize those dropshadows then? Or did I already do that by setting the rasterization t...

Yes, Moini, you are right - I did not zoom out properly, and that is why the pdf had a tiny document in the bottom left hand corner.

Lazur are you saying that I can print a really nice quality print (the photo part of the document)? So I should not be worrying about Inkscape being at 720 x 900 pixels for an 8 x 10" document? Also, I had to scale the original photo down to 25% outside of Inskcape (in a raster program called P...

Tylerdurden, I am quite confused. If I am wanting to make 8" wide x 10" high printable documents, mixed font and photos, which program should I be using? I have Gimp, but found that Gimp cannot make basic shapes like stars, circles, etc. so I thought I was supposed to use a vector-based pr...

Shawnhcorey, do you mean that even though Inkscape is showing the document as 90dpi, it will become 300dpi when I change it to export as PNG? Will I notice the difference in quality of print when I print an inkscape document versus a png image? But what about the photo object that I had to reduce do...

Oh, I also noticed that I had to really reduce the size of the photo I embedded in the document, so now I am thinking it will print out horribly.....I can't print for a few days as I am out of toner, but I am suspecting the print will be no good.

When creating a new drawing, I sized it at 8x10". But there was nowhere to set the dpi. Then I found out that drawings in Inkscape are seen at 90dpi (If I understood correctly). So, I figured that an 8x10" drawing (mixed text and photo) to be printed at 300dpi should be 2400x3000 pixels. S...

I unlocked the padlocks, and it was in the fourth layer up. I just didn't see it as it is not named in the layers. Thanks Moini, tylerdurden!

I have searched youtube, and cannot find anything relevant to this. I have watched a few hours of irrelevant videos on the subject as well, going from video to video, hoping to find the answer. I have tried and tried it in inkscape, and cannot seem to move a photo around in the document. At first wh...

Thanks Brynn - can you tell me how I can get a photograph to show up underneath that cutout circle and rectangle, yet not show through the rest of the rectangle? Right now it's ghosting through because I have a blend color on the rectangle.

Hi, I am new to Inkscape. I would like to know if you can cut out a circle from a layer so that the layer below can show through?

Thanks!
