when other graphic designers say “gimp is not good” or “inkscape is not professional”, or say bad things about linux, i have to show them that even linux can be awesome!!!

Really cool!
Can I ask what you used GIMP for in this piece? Was there something you couldn’t do easily within Inkscape?
all the letters and shadows and outlines were made on gimp. the only thing made on inkscape was the mouse, yea! while it’s possible to draw stuff like that on gimp, i think it’s easier to do it on dedicated software (inkscape!). thank you
Oh I see, but anyways, I was referring to the opposite, I was curious why you didn’t make it all with Inkscape rather than the opposite
because of the shadows!! i still have no idea how to generate shadows on inkscape
Oh, well there’s 2 ways mainly:
Filters > Shadows and Glows > Drop Shadow, more crude, but it works if your needs stay within what the filter can dothe first way is exactly what i do but on gimp! thank you. whenever i duplicate objects (text) on inkscape, i have to turn them to paths before changing anything
You don’t have to turn text into a path if you just change color, opacity and blur percentage of it
