Re: [libreoffice-marketing] branding colors - missmatch

Hi :)

Thanks!  Oddly i hadn't considered exporting from Inkscape as a png.  I usually 
try to open in Gimp directly and then "Save As .." png, gif & jpg to see which 
gives me the best result for my aim for the image.  It's not a perfect approach 
especially as Gimp only loads the image if i tell it what resolution i want.  
Typically i try to guess the largest i can without making the machine grind to a 
halt.  Too much guess-work, not enough finesse.

I am not used to Inkscape or any vector graphics at all and i need an excuse to 
force myself into using it more so i get familiar with some basic stuff.

I'm in linux and this thread is the first time i found out that linux pixels are 
a different size from Windows one!  I'm not sure i believe it but it would 
explain a few oddities.

I haven't had chance to explore the idea about reducing bit-depth but i am 
looking forward to exploring that.

Already a few people have asked how their logos look better on my company's 
website than they look on their own website but i am not a skilled artist and 
really don't know my way around these packages.  I just do what i can.

Many thanks and regards from
Tom :)

Hello Tom,

To move Images between Inkscape and Gimp I use the 
File->Export Bitmap option in Inkscape, to create a PNG file.

Then import the PNG file into GIMP, and the RGB (and alpha info.) is preserved.
btw, I had add the Vegur font to my windows machine, to use in GIMP.



For printing content, I use the CMYK in Inkscape to get the right colors. 
Then look at equivalent RGB and use the same in GIMP. 
Output from GIMP is JPEG at highest resolution, because that is what the 
commercial printers prefer here.
Allowing for bleed, I have not seen much distortion.

It's a bit convoluted, however, you could try the same.
