Inkscape vs Illustrator?

Inkscape the best, but it have not CMYK color profile:(

Wrong. There's no EXPORT feature in CMYK, but you can always use Image Magick's convert. In "fill and stroke" dialog is CMYK section, and that is essential. For preview you must use appropriate ICC color profile (U.S. Web Coated SWOP v2 for north America, or various ISOs ...), depending of CH & printing agency residence.

Thank you very much about it and I meant it. But what is Image Magick's convert? Can I convert the vectops in CMYK with it?

My reply was deleted 'cause I used some external links (I think - no notification[yet]). Just Goo... (I have to be careful from now on ... :>) for Inkscape RGB CMYK, and look for episode 106.
Regards.

I am more familiar with illustrator

I have found this thread very interesting.

I have been using Inkscape for the last couple of months, and I find it suitable for logo designs.

illustrator yeahhh

... but the Price - Ouch!

i use Inkscape for designing. Sometimes i need final files in CMYK mode but i don't know how to change RGB to CMYK mode. and when the design has been printed color to turn opaque.

I think not become opaque but rather the color down and slightly different than desired.

Look at the post #23

oh, thanks mmasic.

Is there any Tablet version of Inkscape? #Dskwkrs

I have never used Inkscape. I will try to know!

hey guys , i'm a graphic designer and a gme artist, i used to use inkscape for a long time, first because i like the open source softwares it's free and independant,
and second it's light software it's only 49 MB, after being used to inkscape for a good time, i learned illustrator in the university , and the first thing i thought about, this software is realy dump you feel it's stupid it's doesn't understand what are you trying to do, not like inkscape the user interface is very friendly you can get used on it just in 1 houre, it uses the SVG format , and its support many features, and effects for example the blur and it has many extension and effect filter, i easily use it for my 2D games assets and for my printed design, the problem is even professionals doesn't know it , because they are limited to the academic studies , they teach Illustrator , because employers require adobe softwares to use , ...because another hidden reason maybe Adobe pay money for that, open source have always been forgotten, because it's free and people never think it's professional , because they think it's time sapre projects and just for fun and no one serious about that's if they know it even, yesterday i was talking with an music composer/artist and i mentioned LMMS he said "what?" i said music composing software, he told me he know all the music composing softwares but he is not sure this even exist. i just laught and said that's because it's open source.

- so the problem here is a market and business it's not about features in the softwares because as i used bothe softwares iIlustrator doesn't have any extra features, and slower file size bigger and limited export options, hard to get used to. i mean the UI is not user freindly.

as i experienced using illustrator a little bit of Corel draw and Inkscape, that Inkscape is the best vector drawing software i ever used, just give it a chance.
i started talking there and there about inkscape and showing what i can do with it. and many people a friends just loved it after few executes you feel it's smart.
it just do what you wish even somtimes you do it the wrong way haha.

free as in freedom , let the word be free, use open source softwares ( inkscape, Gimp, Blender, LMMS, Audacity, Libre Office, and for sketching MyPaint, and Synfig for 2D animation) you will never find a better software than this collection)

i Think Ilustrator is Better.But inkscape is free

Maybe. But I started with CorelDRAW 2.0 (W4WG time), over to OS/2 and now (more than decade) on Linux. My humble experience is either you can (draw) or ... Spending huge amount of money doesn't solve anything.

I was aboutto say the same that nothing beats illustrator but you are right..... all the way!

But In My Computer,In Inkscape ,If I Input So Many Object ,Its So Slow
Nice Share By The Way

Though I have not used Inkscape, I am a profound supporter of Illustrator. I use Illustrator for mostly all of my designs, and love the way it feels and how the graphics turn out. Though it does take some getting used to, once you learn it, it is a truly astounding software!

for me Inkscape is better...

For me also Inkscape, mainly for way better bezier curve manipulations, which are essential for vector graphics program. e.g. as far as I know in Illustrator you can't drag out single control point from corner nodes, and generally manipulations involves much more operations to get same results.
But Illustrator is industry standard, so sometimes we just must.

I am so late but I feel like I need to say something anyway.

 

Illustrator is what I know well. I love it. This is what people want you to know even when they are not aware that they want it. They are trained to look for it without a second thought. I would NOT go as far as another user to say that they frown on other skill sets however. A good portfolio speaks volumes that a cover letter and resume cant. Trust in your portfolio because this is what will back you when they don't.

 

Now comes the hard part to understand.... People do not always understand what they want. You could benefit from understanding illustrator. It's a great tool. InkScape is as good as or better of a tool though. It does most everything Illustrator does... and for the things it does not do it has an equivalent in most cases. This means you have some learning ahead of you. It is very hard to cross that line I know.

 

What is even more awesome is that InkScape does some things way better even. The hardest part of switching to InkScape has nothing to do with clients and their needs and everything to do with time to relearn how the program works. You just cant beat This tool for free.

 

Make no mistake I am not sitting here telling you that illustrator is not worth your time. Like I said it's what I know well. You would benifit well to keep that in mind too. But don't make the mistake of thinking InkScape is a child's tool. It was made by people with experience AND passion that didn't care for boundaries so much. Using the tool you will get that influence too.

 

Peace out. If OP (or anyone) saw this and it was helpful then great. Only reason this post is here too. I haven't exactly produced something like the Apple or Nike logo but I have put my name out there. My work has been welcomed with open arms. I never made one thing in illustrator I could not have made just as well in InkScape IMHO.
