Frank Pellow Posted June 24, 2016 Report Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) I see that courses on both Gimp and Inkscape are available at the Village University. I want to be able to create patterns along the lines of which can be found here under Scenic Patterns. My questions are: (1) Which of these two programs is better for creating scenic patters from photographs? (2) Is there better software somewhere for creating such patters?

Scrappile Posted June 24, 2016 Report Posted June 24, 2016 Gimp is more for that type of pattern making. Inkscape is for the lettering like name plates. Both are worth learning if you are smarter than me. I cannot remember all the steps...... amazingkevin 1 Quote
Travis Posted June 24, 2016 Report Posted June 24, 2016 I agree. GIMP is your best bet for scenic designs like those found in the Pattern Library. Quote
MrsN Posted June 24, 2016 Report Posted June 24, 2016 Gimp is better for photo patterns. I look forward to seeing what you create! Good luck. Quote

WayneMahler Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 Gimp does well on portraits type patterns. Inkscape is great for word art. All depends on what your looking for. Quote
Frank Pellow Posted June 25, 2016 Author Report Posted June 25, 2016 Thanks Everyone. I've now downloaded GIMP and have made a (very) small start in my attempt to learn how o use it. Quote
