Inkscape Forum Inkscape > Filter effects: just a simple overview

Hi there,

I compiled Inkscape from source and was exalted about the filters in the
effect menu - they are fantastic!

So, I compiled a simple overview of the filters and what they produce:

Thomas,

Would you be interested in helping the documentation team by writing a
short description of each effect and saving your images individually for
use in the manual?  (even just the images would help, but I figured if
you're excited about it, you might want to help more ;)

If you're interested, I can even help you write the chapter yourself in
the Floss Manuals Inkscape manual.

Dear Joshua,

I think, I can write that part of documentation. But someone has to
correct my english :-)

What format(s) do you need? How long should it be?

Best,

Tom

Thomas,

Probably the best thing would be to just send an email with each effect
listed and what it does.  Also attach each image (with the same
dimensions) named by their effects.

If you are interested in helping do more with the documentation, we
don't have a German translation yet (though prokoudine can also work on
it).  If so, you might want to also join the inkscape-docs list.  In
fact, if you write this in German and send it along with an English
translation, that would be really cool.

Thanks for helping!

Hello Joshua,

the next two weeks I'm on holiday and will spend a lot of time in
trains, there I'll write the texts for the filters :-)

At the moment, I have already some open tasks (I'm also working a little
bit on the new Scribus manual, and, ah yes, there's a PhD thesis which
have to be written ..), so, I can't promise anything. But if i'll have
some time in the future, it would be glad if I can help a little bit.

Best,

Tom

Thomas,

no problem.  Unfortunately :) I have a life as well, which means I can't
spend 24 hours a day working on our Inkscape manual :(

Whatever you can do whenever is much appreciated.  Your thesis is
obviously more important.

Hi Joshua,

I compiled some examples of the Inkscape filters, together with some
very short descriptions. My englis is not the best, so I think, it needs
some polish ;-)

In fact, I think that the most filters are speaking for themself and
they not really need adescription?

And it seams so that some of the filtes are not working properly at the
moment, I added just "???" in that cases. From time to time, I'll
compile new developer versions ... ah yes, and here is the file:

Hope it helps.

Best,

Tom

Tom

And again, it wasn't my itention to send these mails to the whole list
...I'm sorry for that ...

But here is the package of the filter preview unpacked so that you can
take a look directly at the examples:
