Just did my first illustration using Inkscape (www.inkscape.org). It’s pretty cool. Open Source Vector illustrator (produces SVG graphics and has good bitmap export).
i.e. select what you want, File->Export Bitmap (and it’s already gone to the “export selection” thing, choose the res of the image, where it is, and click export.
Funky!
Thanks for using Inkscape
Inkscape is pretty effin’ cool.
The only thing I don’t like is that I can’t seem to save at a specific resolution and maintain the exact dimensions I want.
