I'll add another one of mine. Moving objects with gradient fills and wondering why the coloring goes whack. There's an icon near the stroke scaling icon that enables / disables moving gradients with the objects and it's disabled by default.
@@ahmadfachryzal4466 I'm sure it's good. I know nick has done a few tutorials with it. But as I know inkscape so well after nicks lessons, I still navigate around it better. Affinity designer is more suitable to me for using gradients in screen printing, so while I use inkscape for initial design,I may port into affinity for conversion to spot colours.
I'm so glad I purchased your Masterclass, and such an affordable price! I was so excited about learning so much so fast, I had to force myself to go to bed last night. My brain was exploding!
Yep, I've been learning Inkscape for the first time over the past two weeks and have made all of these mistakes. I've learned that, on my older MacBook, Inkscape runs smoother for some reason if you save the project right from the start.
Good video 👍 I think the problems you've listed are more about Inkscape developers' and UI/UX designers' mistakes, rather than the users'. For example: 1. Why are not the path operations supported for non-path objects? Just program it to ungroup the selection to paths and then proceed with the regular tool's logic. 2. You've pointed it yourself. Possible solution: show a warning: "You've selected a lot of nodes, whoah! Are you sure about that? It's hard to process, so the program can crash!". This dialog should contain the buttons to proceed and cancel respectively. 3. Seems fine, but the general UI of Inkscape with its unlabeled buttons all over the place probably hurts the discoverability of this useful option. 4. Same as the #3 5. The UI/UX of exporting could be improved. E.g. there should be a preview of the borders of the exported region and so on. P.S. You placed the . instead of : for the #2 timetag in the description.
Nick. This is the first time I'm unhappy with your video. It came a month too late. Haha. The list is spot on though. Those are the exact problems I struggled through the hard way. Thank you for your videos!
Hey Nick, thank you for your video as always. I have an idea, with your teaching over the years, how about start "reviewing subscriber's design" series? It may made a closer communication with your viewer..
@Logos by Nick, great BUT your screen resolution is set so that your icons are microscopic compared to the screen. You move pretty fast, too. SO I can see you click up there on some icon, and voila! But I can't tell what you're clicking on, and I suspect your toolbars at the top are different than mine. Keep up the great work! You're my source for great Inkscape tutorials.
Thanks for these tutorials, you're the best teacher I have ever seen ,my problem is when I rotate a shape in inkscape it doesn't have the same form ,if it is a square it changes to a rectangle with new dimensions,plz how can I fix this issue
Hey Hey... Nick, what a great video, Your amazing my friend.. Thanks for sharing. Your masterclass was incredible. I highly recommend it to anyone... it is a great value, and outstanding instruction by a true master of the craft and a master teacher.
Not yet. We were having discussion about this in Inkscape gitlab repository and turns out bucket fill tool is something that works closely like that but it's raster based.
There must be a JS plugin for that, no? If not, I might try to implement something similar later, but it will for sure not be performant or ideal hehehe
@@imyasharya I may try, but it will probably not be easy. I'll try to create something on github or so, but if I can pull anything, it will probably be very sloppy at first
I really love your videos. Realized just now that i never did sub to you to.. fixed it! One thing i'd love to watch is you talking about design. Any great books that you read, persons that influence, how to invoke certain feelings etc. Courses to take in different areas in color theory, form and such? I hope you know what i mean. Not a tutorial really, but more theoretical. I'm thinking of doing some print on demand.. Mostly for fun tho, because i think its really saturated and hard to earn any big money. Cheers!
Please put a video about how to present a logo to Clint and how to present with high quality format (STEP BY STEP)starting with export.......by inkscape Please Iam waiting for your response Please ...........
Good advices 👍 What about faster switching between Visual and Geometric bounding boxes? I often find myself depending on these two dimensions of BB to make precise pictures, and all I could find is to open Inkscape preferences for it every time (which really sucks).
Nice video dude 👍 Really love your explanation to every detailing, it's like learning from a teacher, you are my inkscape teacher now tho,lol Just a request, I've been seeing a lot of doing this dark teal color grading in photoshop, as I don't have photoshop, could you show how to do it in GIMP? Please?
I would add another feature like this: -Effects of blur and shadow will be visible only in png format, as svg does not display them in the system (relevant when creating icons). Therefore, creating shadows and blurring in simple ways in this case is not suitable for using exactly the svg format And here's another thing. If you need a circle to transform it further, it's best to use a square with rounded edges.
Indeed, these filter usually serve to rasterize the vector. I'd prefer path shadows. Simple circle is usually enough if you don't plan to add deviating corners.
That’s a limitation of your SVG renderer, not of SVG or Inkscape itself. For example, I just checked a couple of my own SVG files in Firefox, GIMP and a GTK-based image viewer, and the blurs rendered just fine in all of them.
Hi, I like to learn more from your videos but teachable.com have very bad reviews. Do u have other possibilitie where I can learn from your videos ? Thanks.
The one thing that I still get mix up everytime and gives me a headache is the snapping in Inkscape a lot of times I am trying to snap centers or corners of the object to nodes of other objects or to rules and I spend so much time on this... 😅
Awesome! Thanks for making this one. *Pt. 2 learnt the hard way* . Downloaded an svg from pixabay and tried that directly without breaking apart. Luckily, i got a 16 core AMD and enough ram & graphics that took care of it. But, Man! my computer fans behaved as if they are fighter jet turbines LOL. My viewpoint about graphics changed that day too. I thought only 3D stuffs and games etc. take too much processing power. Proved wrong. :D *Pt. 4 always bothers me. Still bothers me a lot. Thanks for the keyboard combo (shift +5 )*
Hi nick...great tutorials always and quite easy to understand with your explanations!!! I am wondering if there is anywhere a feature in inkscape like an object folder for each drawing item within a drawing project. It would help if you could have something like it is available in AI... i guess there was once a feature like that coz have seen it in an old video (inkscape tutorials: streamers and ribbons - showing after 2:34mins).maybe you have knowledge about it or an option how to create something like that?thanks a lot!
Hi sir what should i do to maintain the outlines of the shape in the screen? I tried to remove fill some shapes and just wanted to see the outline but whenever i try to put something within the outline, the outline disappears from the screen. I know it is there because i can see it on layers. They are just not visible on the page when I try to edit it.
What are your thoughts on version 1.0.1? It seems to have fixed a lot of bugs, and finally some reasonable work around for CMYK out of Inkscape. I think you should cover that in a video.
I don't remember which video I watched that talked about the clip feature under objects...but I have a question. Most of the time when I clip an object, it doesn't print correctly or at all. I don't know how to fix that. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Nick, I still have problems with the difference tool. Often I draw something using different techniques, then after a while the difference tool doesn´t work anymore. I can´t get to substract an object of an other. Just now I can´t get to fill an object at all, as a new problem after i tried to fiddle around with group, ungroup, object to path etc. Cn You help me? Whataver I did, can I transform something I have drawn to something fromwhich I can "difference" a new object? Thanks a lot, Arjan van Eeden
I was wondering how do I get my Inkscape to look like yours, can you make a video on it? "How to make your Inkscape look better" , also if you already have the video what is the link?
hello nick, is there any way to create something like a text over a surface ? obviously there is no depth in inkscape but to make it look like there is a surface and it is projected over something like text in a flag that is moving, obviously here there is a 3D, maybe with node editing but god would be complicate to do...
I've been strugling to find the export bitmap option on the file dropdown menu. i made sure all the parts of my drawing are paths, i've tried grouping, ungrouping. even tried on a new document to just make a circle that is a path and still the option of eport bitmap isnt showing. can anyone help me please? i got the 1.1 version
Help ! I lost the pointer or cursor (it is invisible on the work page) only sometimes, and I do not know how to recover it ! I see the pointer only outside the work page. Has anybody any idea ? thanks
Hi can you please help me I’m still kinda new with Inkscape, I’ve had Inkscape for a little over a year then the new upgrade automatically updated my Inkscape but I don’t see the Height icon on my tool bar, I just use it really for sublimation prints that I have to size.. but can’t seem to see it anyway. Thanks
I've just installed the Windows Store App because I need to be able to trace images into vector like I used to do in illustrator (we're now using Affinity Suite) I have brought in a fairly large PDF and ungrouped it but for the life of me I can't get inscape to trace it. I'm in the "Path" pull down with Trace Bitmap and none of the options that come up in a window do anything. they don't give any warnings , they do nothing? Any pointers?
3:57 If you prefer to have snapping on most of the time, you can disable it for the current move operation by holding down the shift key.
Thanks, I have used Inkscape for so long and never heard this before!
Best teacher on the internet. thanks for the best quality content out there.
Wow, that stroke scaling thing has driven me crazy in the past. Thank you!
Been using Inkscape professionally for graphic design works. But still watched every videos of Nick. 🙌🙌
Watching this video early in ones Inkscape career will save you a lot of hair pulling. Thank you!
Thanks. I was not paying attention when exporting. One learns something everyday !!!
I'll add another one of mine. Moving objects with gradient fills and wondering why the coloring goes whack. There's an icon near the stroke scaling icon that enables / disables moving gradients with the objects and it's disabled by default.
Nick is back 🔥🔥🔥
Glad to have known about those mistakes by learning from your other videos and messing around Inkscape :)
After doing your masterclass in inkscape, I always head to it straight away for any design project even though I also have affinity designer.
May I ask, is affinity designer good ?
@@ahmadfachryzal4466 I'm sure it's good. I know nick has done a few tutorials with it. But as I know inkscape so well after nicks lessons, I still navigate around it better.

You are a channel that I have wanted to find for 1 year.
The one with scaling strokes I didn't know and kept having to adjust when doing my math Activity Workbook. Thanks.
I'm so glad I purchased your Masterclass, and such an affordable price! I was so excited about learning so much so fast, I had to force myself to go to bed last night. My brain was exploding!
Thanks Nick, I always watch the ads on every video, even if the ads suck and are annoying...
Thanks you! Points 1 and 3 has now helped me with correcting my mistake and saving time re-editing strokes. Appreciated this info. ✌
jup made all of them at one point. the breaking paths apart was new tip for me. thanks!

I was told that if you say Nick i love you so much never stop teaching, he will kindly give you a heart :'D
Thanks so much! I've learned so much about GIMP from your videos.
This is so helpful to new Inkscape users. Will have to share this in the Inkscape Beginners Facebook Group.
Thanks Nick!
Really helpful piece of advice, thanks Nick.

well because inkscape is creating by volunter, and its stil focused in functional feature developmet and fix more bugs...
Thanks for Image export options explanation

It's the width and height of the bounding box that changes. The object itself does not change size when rotating.
Another 👍 video. Great job Nicky.
