12/30/2023 0 Comments Create vector image in gimp![]() ![]() Illustrator, as far as I know, has some features that other programs haven't (and vice versa). Please offer any other suggestions or comments, Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions! Most surprising was that Corel couldn't handle considering they price themselves in the Adobe league. well regardless of the use you can clearly see that how much better illustrator is over the others. But starting a merchandise business and relying heavily on clipart. Still love the Affinity products and will keep using. Is Adobe Ilustrator really the only product that can import all/most EPS as vector, keep as vector, and edit as vector? I also spent a ton of time researching products and from product descriptions I could see they were doing raster also. Inkscape also has a Ghostscript integration that I didnt implement, after reading comments above how it converts to raster and seeing the output from GIMP I expected the same EPSĪttached image is screen caps within the editors from When purchasing from iStock they offer one choice of download. This wasnt a designer in his spare bedroom giving me some weird variation of an eps. Well based on me trying several programs, reading here, and then googling a ton of things.įirst to set the stage, the EPS file is from iStockPhoto, which is a Getty Images company and one of the largest stock image companies out there. Summary: Seems only Adobe Illustrator can import EPS as a vector, keep it as a vector in the application, and make it fully editable as a vector. from all the comments here and trying things out One thing that might possibly disqualify both, GIMP and Inkscape, for your needs is that they don' support CMYK. Postscript is a page description language.īut you can try Inkscape, because it is a vector graphic software. ![]() Pathes (vectors) are only used as a sort of tools in GIMP.ĮPS is not inevitably a vector graphic format, but a sort of container that can contain vectors, pixels and text. What you export as EPS is pixel data, raster images, not vector. You can export a SVG from there, but it only contains the path, the pure vector data, without any visual informations. That is also the reason why the SVG-file-format is not listed in the Export-dialogue, but in the context menu of the Path-dialogue. In fact it rasterizes vectors when it opens them. But no matter if it contained vector data before you opened the file in GIMP, you will not be able to export true vector graphics from GIMP. And you can also export EPS-files from GIMP. It is true that you can open EPS-files in GIMP. I drag and drop the eps into the canvas, i get the small UI dpi chooser (and a few other features) and it is imported as vector. (I really appreciate the extensive writeup)īut the key thing is Gimp makes it transparent. I am in the office now and when I get home (where Affinity) is I will try suggestion. I did not try yet to export out of Gimp as something else and bring back into Affinity ![]() I can access each individual vector shape. When I load the same eps image into Gimp (integrated with GhostScript) it 100% loads as a full vector image. Simply the eps file is imported into Affinity as a Raster image. I posted this then got invited to the beach. Ghostcript won't do any miracle, it'll depend of the file. The other one is only a preview scaled according to settings (300 PPI). The files opened in Gimp: only the 2 first images, real PS files, were correctly read. Or a bad one, that'll give error and only use the low resolution preview: It's able to convert to raster images (bmp, png, tiff), and I suppose it's was it's doing for Gimp.ĭepending of the export settings in Illustrator, and probably the features used, you can have a nice EPS file : Now, nothing prevent from instaling Ghostcript on Windows and using it (but the latest releases are without UI, only with command lines, unless you install PS_View, or GSview (the one I've got installed, and despite the page information, it's working with newer releases) that give a more rudimentary UI than in the past, sadly. That's why its used in Gimp to "read" EPS and PDF as raster images. ![]() It's able to convert some files to PDF and can get its own "printing settings". Ghostscript is what I used as virtual printer before Windows added its own. So I don't know if Ghostscript really would be a solution for Designer. ![]()
