Svg Files

[Users mailing list]

I’m in desperate need of being able to save my creations as SVG files. It’s the only type of file one of the programs I use what I create in can accept and keep the layers I’ve created. HELP. I used to be able to do this long ago and now that I’m designing again I can’t find how to save my creations as svg files.

SVG is a vector graphics format, so you may wish to use inkscape (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkscape ) or similar. See the list on my site

A gimp plugin for SVG support will likely not be effective, due to the
differences between raster and vector graphics:

Chuck Norris does not believe in Astrology, despite the fact that he is a
Pisces, and that Pisces always believe in Astrology.

Adobe offers two programs for raster and vector...  It's too fundamental a difference to "just convert" between the two.  That's
also why the UI for raster and vector are going to be different no matter what.
So, studying inkscape is your path forward.
