Inkscape Filter Effects

Inkscape Filter EffectsI decided that rather then make a video tutorial about Inkscape Filter Effects that I’d just provide a sample of every single Inkscape Filter Effect.

There are a ton of them and I thought it might be a useful tool if you want to see what you can expect all in one place. Click on any of the following to go to that exact filter effect : ABCs, Bevels, Blurs, Bumps, Color, Distort, Image Effects, Image Effects Transparent, Materials, Morphology, Non Realistic 3D Shaders, Overlays, Protrusions, Ridges, Scatter, Shadows and Glows, Textures, and Transparency Utilities.

Ask Me Anything

Ask Me AnythingI noticed a few weeks back that I have over 1,000 Google Hangout requests. While I go out of my way to answer every question I receive it would be impossible to personally talk to each and every one of you nice people 🙂

So, I thought maybe it would be a good idea to have a live Ask Me Anything type video where I can answer many of the questions that come up all of the time, or anything else you may be interested in. I’d answer all the questions live on YouTube, but to help me decide if this is a good idea or not, leave any questions you have below in the comments. Continue reading Ask Me Anything
