Inkscape Halftones with Tiled Clones
The simplest way to create halftones in Inkscape is using the Tiled Clones feature. You can create clones of an object to cover an area, using the trace function you can automatically adjust the clones depending on the image below. In this tutorial I show you how to create halftones, I demonstrate some simple examples and then I go on to create a halftone portrait. I walk you through step by step so you understand what you are doing and why, you can use these methods to create your own artwork.
In this tutorial, I’m using the latest version of Inkscape - Inkscape 1.3.1

    Had a question is it possible to cut out portions of the images without using the brush tool ? As in turning the image black and white and only keeping the area that is white and removing the black areas, for example there is a path and grass at both side, you only want the path and remove the grass area.

      Yes, the number of pixels will remain the same but the resolution will be 300dpi - so the image size will be smaller to get more pixels per inch.

    This is a great video with very clear instructions which I so appreciate. I'm trying to do something similar. However, I'd also like to smooth out some of the signature lines and make them "even" where the signature line is fainter in some places. Is there a way to do that in addition to what was done in this video?

    • @CreateForFree
      @CreateForFree 3 дні тому

      You could change the detection mode in the Trace Bitmap dialog to Centreline tracing (Auto trace) which will try to draw a path along the centre of the line of your writing (Note: this uses a different algorythm, so there won't be a preview). It's likely there will be some defects in the trace so you will need to use the nodes tool to correct them. You could then use the power stroke LPE to adjust the line width or convert the stroke to a path (Path - Stroke to Path) and the use the tweek tool or nodes tool to adjust to your liking.

    • @CreateForFree
      @CreateForFree 26 днів тому

      You should be able to use the same process as I used for the balloon image. Create duplicates of the image then use a combination of clipping and masking to create the soft and hard edges. You can also use Filters - Blurs - Feather to soften the edges. Another useful trick to know is that you can apply more than one mask or clip to an image by grouping the image on it's own and then clip the group.

    I have been poking around Inkscape a lot more since the upgrade and for some reason I just didn't feel like diving in for the details of how it all worked. It was the length of the tutorials that led me to shorter versions that were not comprehensive enough and I was left with frustration after every attempt to use the software. I recently wasted more time than I needed to correcting vectors in Vcarve Desktop. Several iterations later and still not what I wanted. Working with a logo a customer brought me that was a complete hand drawn mess. I needed to convert it so I tried every other way I possibly could. Each time I was left disappointed by the result. Trace Bitmap. Sounds great!! Over and over and still not quite what I wanted. Hand correcting hundreds of nodes and just getting burned out by it. Eyes glossy from looking at that shit too long. So today I made some coffee which at noon will turn into beers. Popped my ass into the students chair at 9 this morning and made a decision to find a tutorial that could move me from taking eons correcting software interpretations of vectors from a bitmap. To firing up Inkscape and using the pen tablet to just draw the thing correctly from the start. I managed to get the logo corrected the old way but it's the last time I'm taking that route. I told the customer I would have them done Friday possibly Saturday. I didn't finish cutting with the CNC until yesterday which was Tuesday. The time I spent trying to avoid sitting here listening, and paying attention to a... How long is this one?? 32 minutes!! I don't have time for that!! Let me just keep moving these dots around. I'll get it right! Man.. I am gonna have so much more time to get other shit done now that I found this tutorial. A first step in the art of tracing or drawing whatever you need to get from paper or your head to a vector image is learning how to use the pen tool. Thank you for making this tutorial. With Inkscape and my new found skills I'm gonna start kicking some ass here!!!

    • @CreateForFree
      @CreateForFree 26 днів тому

      You can only scale in one direction from the oposite side or around the centre, I don't think there is a simple way to scale from the rotational centre which would be handy. But that said, where there's a will there's a way. It's abit of a work around but you could do it like this: Use the selection tool to select the obect you want to fix at a set point, click on it again to bring up the rotation handles and the rotational centre, you can then move the rotational centre to the point you want to fix. If you are likely to be scaling around the point repeatedly you could do it like this. With the shape or line selected press Ctrl +D to duplicate it. then flip the duplicate horizontally and then vertically. In the Fill and Stroke dialog box reduce the opacity to 0, then hold down Shift and select the the original object and group them together. Because of the way we flipped the duplicate before grouping the 2 together, the centre of the group is at the rotational centre of the original shape, so if you hold down Shift when scaling it will scale the original shape from it's rotational centre (the centre of the group). When you are happy with the result you can always ungroup and delete the duplicate. Hopefully that made sence, if not give it a go anyway it should work.

    • @CreateForFree
      @CreateForFree 2 місяці тому

      Sorry for the late response. Perhaps the image is cut into section in the pdf, one way around this is to make a bitmap copy of the sections you want to convert to a vector. If you want your bitmap copy to be a high resolution you can got to Edit - Preferences - Imported Images and set the Create - make bitmap copy resolution to say 300 dpi (print quality) Then select all the sections of the pdf that you want to create a copy of and go to Edit - Make a bitmap copy. You should then have a png copy that you can use Trace Bitmap on. You may find the elements of the pdf are grouped together so you may need to ungroup a few time so you can select only the parts that you want to copy.

    Just want to thank you for this video, I have watched sooo many Path's video until I am blue. Finally, you show while doing the Path - Difference, one simply routine that ensures success. In video at time 9:11 the Circle must be on TOP and the Rectangle must be BELOW the Circle. OBJECT TO BE SUBSTRACTED MUST BE RAISE TO TOP AND NOW THE PATH - DIFFERENCE OPTION WILL WORK FOR ME. I have been modifying and modifying and modifying, No More Now Thanks To You.

    Thanks for sharing. To me Gimps layer system is a bit more intuitive. I spent a lot of time on Gimp before trying inkskape. I'm dragging in different UV maps from airplane sections that I don't want to paint over. The UV map simply put is a 2d map of airplane sections taken from a 3d aircraft. In Gimp I go to file and open each UV map as a layer then add a layer to paint on. And the entire plane will end up on one .png to be loaded into Phoenix RC flight simulator to give it its paint scheme. When painting with the bezier pen it creates a new path every time I use it to paint a different section where Gimp would keep that on the same layer.

    • @CreateForFree
      @CreateForFree 3 місяці тому

      In Inkscape the layers aren't so important, unlike in GIMP and other bitmap editors where you are basically painting on the layer, vector graphics editors store each element of your project separately. So if you did draw a line across you UV map in the same layer they are still separate objects so you can move/edit/delete the line without effecting the UV map. It is only when you export the final image as a png that it all becomes 'fixed' because you are exporting the image as a bitmap. If you open the 'Layers and Objects' dialog: Object - Layers and Objects, you get a hierarchical representation of all the elements of your project. So you have the layers and then all the elements that are on that layer. You can toggle the visibility of layers and objects and also lock them so they can not be selected or effected. I hope the custom paint job goes well :-) You can group the individual paths when you've finished so you can move them as one.

      @CreateForFree 3 місяці тому

      I'm not 100% sure what you mean so here are some options that should help. If you want the command bar to be at the top of the screen - which has a button to bring up the export dialog among other things go to View and uncheck the Wide screen option at the bottom. If your Export dialog box is floating around in it's own box and you want it docked again at the side. If you look in the floating Dialog box you will see a Tab with Export on it, inside the box near the top, drag that Tab (not the top of the floating box) up next to a docked dialog Tabs (if you have a docked dialog box open), which should dock it. If you don't have one open or want it on the other side then drag the Tab to the side you want to dock it, a blue vertical line should become visible to the side of the canvas, it should become wide when you hover over it, drop the Tab and it should dock to that side. If you want it floating again, just drag the Tab out again. Hope this helps!

    is there any way to do an offset with a specific measurement, like I want to offset .125" from the original shape?

    • @CreateForFree
      @CreateForFree 4 місяці тому

      As well as the offsets described in the video, there is also a a path effect for offsets. Path - Path Effects to open the dialog box. With the path selected that you want to offset, click on the triangle beside 'Add Live Path effect', choose Offset from the list. You will then be able to choose the type of joint - so you can have corners mitered or rounded, choose your units and set an exact offset. This is a Path effect, so if you want to make the offset permanent, use Path - Object to Path.

      Sounds like a glitch with the software, I've got 1.3.2 and I just checked it and it's working fine. Maybe try resetting Inkscape preferences. Edit - Preferences - System then press Reset Preference - close Inkscape and reopen it - this should reset things that have been changed, so it will be like opening Inkscape for the first time. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling Inkscape and reinstalling from inkscape.org. Hopefully that will sort it.

    This was very helpful! I'm working on a genogram, and you've gone over a lot of what I need to know to created one.

    • @CreateForFree
      @CreateForFree 4 місяці тому

      There is a tool for adding connectors between shapes but I think you will have better control creating your links manually. I would use grids to lay out your genogram View - Page Grid. This will add a grid to your page (not visible when printing or exporting) that you can snap to. In the spanning menu at the top right corner, click on the drop down menu, select advanced if it is on basic, then you can enable snapping to grids and snapping to paths and snap to mid points, so when you draw your shapes you can snap the mid points to the grid and when you draw your connectors you can snap to the edge of a shape and to the grid (if you find you are snapping to everything, turn off some of the other options). You may also find holding down control helpful when drawing connectors or positioning shape as it will restrict movement to vertical or horizontal. I have a video on Snapping but not one on grids - yet.
