Not all "buttons" are composed solely of vectors.
- aryastark 13y agoYou remind me of the people that use Excel to do desktop publishing, or mocking up GUI screens. God bless your special breed.
- scott_karana 13y agoPardon? I'm advocating Photoshop over Inkscape because, to my knowledge, only one of them excels at mixing raster and vector capabilities. If I want a high-resolution vector button with the modified picture of a face on it, I know which program I'm choosing. Was I that unclear? > Gimp is for image manipulation, not drawing buttons. > (implied) Inkscape is for drawing buttons, not image manipulation Photoshop is used for both image manipulation and for drawing vector buttons, in its modern incarnations. That was my point.
- phaemon 13y agoI see. So Adobe Illustrator is useless?
- scott_karana 13y agoNo, Illustrator is fantastic for its usage cases. (As I'm sure Inkscape might be) We were talking about Photoshop replacements. Despite the name, it's very much a hybrid raster/vector tool now, unlike how the GIMP was described above.
- phaemon 13y agoYes, a few, but why not do those in something else...say, Gimp? I can't think of a decent looking button (even for very loose definitions of "decent") that couldn't have been done with vectors. Can you give me a good example?
- scott_karana 13y agoMy point is that Gimp was pointed as a Photoshop replacement, but then excused for poor vector support. Then, Inkscape was proposed for its vector support, but it neglects raster support. Why use two solutions when Photoshop offers both capabilities?
