Maybe someone could make a tutorial PLEASE and post link to it below
or some simple tips below - mainly how would you create glow like they did using Inkscape instead of Photoshop?

Thank you SO MUCH in advance!

The open source application that's equivalent to Photoshop is the Gimp. You'd be hard pressed to do that image in Inkscape anywhere near the time it would take a good Gimp guy to do it in the Gimp. Not saying you couldn't do it in Inkscape but I'd think it would be a long process.

I'd like to challenge the last post but don't have the time to test it. I have a feeling it would take me less time in Inkscape than in GIMP because I've become more familiar of Inkscape lately, I guess it may come down to familiarity.

Tip: distort the text using Path effects and masks to fade, filters from 0.47 version for the cloud, Tiled clones for sparks and a whole lot of blurring

Thanks very much Jaws for the reply. I am aware of GIMP but do not like in very much to be honest. Thanks very much though. cheers.

Hi Prkos thank you for the reply (Y) ! Thats what i like to see, a bit of optimism.
The tips at the bottom were very helpful and I see how this might just be possible in Inkscape yes.
Thank again to the both of you + anyone else please do not hesitate to offer your tips on how to create glow.

Thanks, Taylor8294
