It’s written in Lazarus (Free Pascal) and uses BGRABitmap library. LazPaint is an image editor with layers and transparency.
The right panel was created from scratch in GIMP.Looking for an image editor similar to Windows Paint.Net or Mac OS PaintBrush? LazPaint is the open-source image editor that works on Linux. I drew the left panel in Inkscape, including the space fog coming from behind the planet, and excepting the blur on the exhaust and general coloring. It’s very loose (I drew it while reclined in my chair with my feet up on the desk). Here’s an example that I created using both vector & raster editors.
Vector editors make drawing easy and fun if you’d like to draw within your software package.
Raster editors make effects extremely easy to achieve, if you need them. I like to use a combination of raster (Photoshop, GIMP, etc.) and vector (Illustrator, Inkscape…) image editors. What graphics software should I use for web comics? This would work easily in just about any image editor you can find. Then do COLOURS >īRIGHTNESS- CONTRAST, increase the contrast slider to 70. svg #you could get an SVG - if you wanted a larger output than input. pgm #set output format to PGM raster, or. turdsize #this discards junk pixels - pixel islands of N size blacklevel #the black/white threshold - in the range 0.1. The most important options for Potrace would probably be You have worked out the options appropriate for your work. This could be the fastest and most reliable, high quality option, once Than a vector - like SVG etc) to do tracing/smoothing. Potrace has options to output a PGM (ie a greyscale raster, rather (commandline tool same algorithym as is integrated into Inkscape). If you are running linux, you will probably have the tools to make aīatch-processing script or Python GIMP plugin that uses PoTrace Since BunnyPic is a web-based online photo editor free with no sign-up itll be much more convenient for converting images. You may need to reduce it below the default 0.70 to get as much Experiment with different values of ‘sharpness’. With a relatively large radius, large tensor-smoothing value, andĪnisotropy = 1.0.

Pixels) to smooth those lines up, and then apply a Unsharp Mask to OK, try this: apply a Gaussian Blur to the image (I used it at 7 or 8 I already scan at 600 dpi.Īnd here’s my result, which came out pretty well.įor this image I used solution 4, below. I don’t mean vector tracing, just getting rid of the smaller abnormalities I’ve been scanning inks into GIMP, then moving them over to Inkscape for But how do you do that with pixels alone? In a vector editor like Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape, you can easily smooth out lines with a keystroke. While working on a comic, I ran into a problem: My inked lines didn’t look very smooth after I scanned them.
