when other graphic designers say “gimp is not good” or “inkscape is not professional”, or say bad things about linux, i have to show them that even linux can be awesome!!!

    all the letters and shadows and outlines were made on gimp. the only thing made on inkscape was the mouse, yea! while it’s possible to draw stuff like that on gimp, i think it’s easier to do it on dedicated software (inkscape!). thank you

      Oh I see, but anyways, I was referring to the opposite, I was curious why you didn’t make it all with Inkscape rather than the opposite

          Oh, well there’s 2 ways mainly:

          • duplicate objects, flatten, change color to dark/black and turn up the blur percentage (my preference for easier control after creation and more options all around)
          • use the shadow filter under Filters > Shadows and Glows > Drop Shadow, more crude, but it works if your needs stay within what the filter can do

            the first way is exactly what i do but on gimp! thank you. whenever i duplicate objects (text) on inkscape, i have to turn them to paths before changing anything

              You don’t have to turn text into a path if you just change color, opacity and blur percentage of it
