Anyone played around with this yet?
I've been looking for a vector-based program to work with (along the lines of Corell and Adobe Illustrator) and found Inkscape.
It's open-source, which means that it's free, along the lines of GIMP, and has a lot of the functionality of AI and Corell.
For example, I took the Victorian Hot Plate (Which I happen to be making for a holiday present), which we had as a bitmap image in our storage, used the auto trace function, and got a vector file...just like that.
Now, I have no experience with vector-based graphics. But this was cake!!!
Anyone else used it? I can see how it would be awsome to clean up portrait patterns (eliminating all the little fuzzies that always seem to crop up, and straightening out any bitmapped lines)
Oh..if you want to check it out, just google Inkscape!
