Does anyone know when CMYK support is coming?
In 84 years
Very glad to see this! I’ve recently used inkscape and I was surprised by the number of bugs I encountered. I don’t recall it being so buggy several years ago. Perhaps this release fixes some of the bugs. Otherwise, a real gem of OSS!
Inkscape doing whatever god you pray to’s work. I use it all the time for webdev stuff, esp. SVGs in tandem with svgomg.net
Anyone tried this application with apple pencil?
Afaik Inkscape has quite limited use for pressure sensitivity (I found one tool in the app that uses it, and it wasn’t really for me). As long as the device can be used as a pointer it will work at least as one.
Even though freehand strokes seem intuitive, it is often hard to optimize them. If you want clean and as simple paths as possible, just use bezier curves and node tool. This is how I usually do it.
As far as other free(mium) software goes I recall that Apple has its own program that used to go under name Vectornator. It should be called Linearity Curve now. Maybe also chceck Affinity. Those may have better use for pressure.
If you want something for notetaking, look into Xournal++ and Rnote. Xournal++ produces more optimized strokes, while Rnote is newer and has a bit different approach.
Thanks I’m new to digital art. And I’m trying to learn it mostly to teach someone else. We have been using Adobe fresco so far but I would prefer foss.
