  • Although Inkscape is pretty much the same on Mac as it is on Windows and Linux operating systems, there are a few noteworthy differences we'll be touching on in this video. We'll also be doing a quick overview layout with some tips and pointers for getting started if you're new to the software.
    Want to learn more about how Inkscape works? Check out the Inkscape Master Class - a comprehensive series of over 50 videos where I go over every tool, feature and function in Inkscape and explain what it is, how it works, and why it's useful: logosbynick.com/inkscape/

    I am really thankful for this navigating video; you are a life saver. I have been looking for courses teaching Inkscape solely on Mac because I was lost in regards to the menu locations and some features but I couldn't find. This video made it all clear

    Brother! I'm really grateful to you, because there are not many videos about InkScape for Mac on Korean CZcams, so it was difficult to find something related to the basic settings. But after watching this CZcams video of yours, I was able to set it up easily. Thank you so much. I hope you will be even more successful. I know you will create more and more content and make the world a better place. Best wishes.

    Inkscape > About Inkscape/or Preferences = Dialog box.
    Collapse/hide the side panels, fn + F12
    The Arrow at "Move to new window", you can select a panel rather than hunting in the menus.
    Hold down the Space bar and move the mouse, the art below moves with it.
    Instead of using the arrow to move through the Swatches, drag the top of the bar up to show more.

    Love your videos Nick. Saw your courses on Vector graphics softwares like Inkscape and Affinity and Raster graphics softwares like GIMP. Loved the course layout. Just the way I wanted. But could you release a discount coupon so that I could buy your courses and avail your services in the future. But in the end, I'd just like to say that please keep making such videos and a short suggestion: please make a course on Affinity Photo and Adobe Photoshop as well if you can for all the Raster graphic fanboys. Peace.

    This is such a perfect timing...
    I just switched to macOS.
    One question: Do you realy work and design with your trackpad? I feel i dont have good control. I believe i need a mouse to design in inkscape.

    • @LogosByNick
      @LogosByNick  Před rokem +2

      If I have to do any kind of intense design work then I need a mouse for its accuracy. If I'm just throwing together a thumbnail or header or something simple like that then the trackpad is good enough. Mouse is definitely better though.

    At 7:03 after having created guide lines you say, "let me go ahead and undo all that". What keys or mouse actions did you perform? Also, once guides are created, can I move them?

    Hello, I’m new to your channel and Inkscape. Thank you so much for the tutorials! I’m having a problem with the zooming in and out and was wondering if I could get some help.
    I have a Mac but using a mouse and the only way I’ve been able to zoom in with the mouse is by clicking the scroll. To zoom out I have to use shift + clicking the scroll. When I use control + scrolling it zooms into the screen as a whole leaving out the tool bars 😭
    Is there any way I can set it to use a single key + scrolling on the mouse to zoom in and out ?
    Thank you!

    I've been using Inkscape on Linux for a while, when I tried it on my M1 Pro it kind of felt sluggish. I assumed they don't make an Apple silicon version and it's running with Rosetta 2.
    But I haven't tried Inkscape 1.2 yet

      @@baldpolnareff7224 you should uninstall all inkscape versions/downloads then retry 1.2.1 version. I have M1 and inkscape was super sluggish, until I installed 1.2.1 and now it's reasonably fast. It's still a little slower compared to linux.

      That's a good question. Just checked myself. It looks like Inkscape only knows how to reference the hard drive. I guess the only thing you can do is move files in and out manually.

      The device I recorded this on is a macbook pro using the m1 pro chip. I also have a first gen m1 macbook air and inkscape runs good enough on it. The 1.2 release of Inkscape was a real game changer. Everything before that was shaky.
