Yeah, the problem for me is that they are very expensive. I could afford maybe one program but all of them are just overpriced. I was thinking about adobe illutrator and inkscape, adobe seems easier to learn but I am not sure
Main Difference here: Adobe Ilustrator: Rental, requires a strong computer to run, only run if your job demands it Affinity Designer: Pay once, and the copy is yours. Inkscape: Free as In freedoom, can run on weaker computers. Inkscape 1.3 now has the shapebuilder tool and a lot more :D
INKSCAPE INKSCAPE INKSCAPE all the way. AI cannot compete with the latest version of Inkscape and it also has a very large plugin and extension repository. INKSCAPE DRAW FREELY will always be FREE . And Gimp has left Photoshop in dust many years ago.
Inkscape is a very powerful and complete vector software once you understand the logic behind it. I've been using it professionnally for several years now and it keeps improving at each new release.
Inkscape is soon going to introduce shape builder, the development version 1.3 already has it. Again trace bitmap is far more developed now. The bitmap feature you showed is from the previous versions.
Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, Affinity Designer and Inkscape each has its own big advantages. That's why it's hard to choose when you know it. Would be better if you just pick one and work on it
I use both, also CMYK is currently being worked for Inkscape, overhauling the code and making it cleaner when this is released this truly will give a fantastic reason to use Inkscape 👍 even more
Great video. Found it informative. I would like to see your take on Affinity Designer vs Illustrator. I use all three currently as I am in school pursuing my BA in Graphics and Media to be completed this December (2024).
Hi! We’re glad you found the video informative. A comparison between Affinity Designer and Illustrator sounds like a great idea! We'll definitely consider that for future content. Congrats on pursuing your BA in Graphics and Media, and best of luck with your studies! Cheers!
Brushes, brushes, brushes... for professionals, that's the real deal breaker. How good are the brushes? That a paid-for-package like Affinity Designer doesn't have true vector brushes... is near criminal.
Inkscape can run on a Linux GUI version that is running via a terminal emulator named termux on a arm64 based Android system with around 4GB of ram 😂 . It means inkscape can even run on a Android phone with decent performance! In this scenario Adobe illustrator can't ever beat inkscape...
1.3 came out and for the price you pay I have to say Inkscape all the way. Converting the rgb to cmyk ehh can be worked out. I can’t overlook the stuff you can do now with 1.3
Adobe software was good when they were selling a permanent license for single owners, this monthly license is a trick to make more money. Everybody can't pay that so inkscape is a better solution for independent graphics designer like me
Inkscape can open .Ai file . But with a small trick . First you will need to rename the .Ai file to .pdf. After that inkscape will recognize this pdf and can open the file in an editable environment. Then you'll just need to save the file in a regular inkscape SVG file to continue working on it.
This is not necessary for Inkscape 1.3+ . It opens .ai files on the "open file" dialog. On early versions, if I remember well, you can "import" .ai files too.
@@envatotutsCorelDraw is years ahead of Illustrator in many things. I don't know why people still want to do things on Illustrator when it requires many steps more than CorelDraw and the result is the same.
A really cool feature of Inkscape is that you can save a lot of swatches in their colour order or colour palettes that you prefer, then put it as your swatches colours on the bottom of the page to be so easy to pick. Then save it as a template and make it a default template so everytime you open Inkscape uour own swatches appear on the bottom list of colours.
Hi! That’s an awesome tip! Customizing swatches and saving them as a template can really streamline your workflow in Inkscape. Thanks for sharing that great feature! Cheers!
Not really. You just need to be a Inkscape pro to do the same job at the same speed. For printing SVG files are better than AI. There are features on Inkscape that there are not on illustrator as well. So perhaps the advantage of Adobe are the other products, not illustrator. Photoshop against Photopea might be different, but Inkscape and Illustrator professionally are the same.
Inkscape sounds like Blender from 3d world :D These open source softwares make me excited and proud. I feel power of open source communities! :)
Couldn't agree more!

@@cekuhnen It has all of those tools, the only issue is that they are quite hidden.
I started with Illustrator many decades ago, now I use Inkscape and I love it. I try to avoid anything Adobe, it's not a good company.

Inkscape has definitely been closing the gap, especially with Inkscape 1.3 just being released.
Big fan..love to watch your videos
agreed, too bad it's not stable enough for illustration heavy and or tablet workflows.

Forgot to mention that Adobe inspie on us.
And one more difference, btw, Inkscape respect my rights as artist/author. Not the case with Adobe!
Inkscape now also has a Shape Builder tool :)
Great video. I’ll dump AI and try Inkscape.

Happily that feature is here! I'm really glad they added the feature, it has never been easier to do logos

Inkscape has a Shape builder tool now in update 1.3 🎉
the answer vary person to person, depending on how comfortable the individual feel with the tool.

Martin Owens, an Inkscape Features designer, just posted an update concerning color on his RUclips the other day. Things are definitely looking up.
inkspace you are awesome
Why didn't I know that this channel gives very useful tutorials!! 😭

In Inkscape is very easy to create your own vector brushes. Find some tutorials here on RUclips.

Inkscape is ok but the UI is a cluttered mess
Adobe requires cloud internet access.
I dont use internet dependent software anymore.
Stopped using autocad also.
What do you use for autocad then?
So, inkscape for everything, and illustrator if you really need to export for printing? Nice ^^
Ai file formats don’t play well with laser systems, svg works well there.
Rename any ai file to pdf and then it can be easily opened on Inkscape as well.
In CorelDraw there was more functionality and possibilities, when in Illustrator there was no idea to put them yet.
Ur right, CorelDraw has more usable tools, plus it is more compatible than inkscape...
plus in CorelDraw you can set 1 tool for one key shortcut without using Alt or ctrl or shift

Now looking for GIMP vs PS of the raster gfx software 🤔
I cant create guilloche patter in illustrator can you suggest me any software for guilloche design
Inscape for sure.
If you like rentware, there is only one choice.
Inkscape is best for beginners and thank you for comparing both softwares and that comparison was excellent thank you
Hi!
It’s great to hear that you found the comparison helpful. Inkscape is indeed a fantastic choice for beginners. Happy designing!

Inkscape wins both. ❤
Inkscape is awesome 😎
You're awesome 💚😎
Overall explanation- Inkscape for Generalist and Illustrator is for specialist.
What sort of specialist, and why?
I know at least a full hand of professional specialists using Inkscape. Some of them are here offering Inkscape tutorials for everybody.
considering time of development and funding, Illustrated should be far, far ahead of Inkscape regarding features.
