Export as PNG and move on, I say, but ymmv. Preferences? Document Preferences? Vague section headers, like “behavior”? Nah. Inkscape is one of the most robust and useful Adobe Illustrator alternatives the open-source movement has ever created. This means you can scale and shirk your art without any degration or pixelation. Vector art is art based upon paths that are resolution independent. Besides, the preferences dialog is a pain to navigate in Inkscape. Inkscape is a free, open source, yet fully-featured vector art program. I doubt this would cause it, but I’m just not going to modify it. I personally find 96 dpi to be insufficient – it is visibly jagged – but if it works for your project, have at it… it all depends on your needs.ġ Given that DPI in SVGs can cause major scaling issues with the GFUI, I tend to avoid anything that messes with it. Prism Mac always uses millions of colors.

So, like I said, if resolution is important, exporting pngs has some benefits over the simple raster copy. Prism Mac and Windows can encode transparent colors in PDF export. This can be essential to getting a pure white-to-black gradient using curves. PNG exporting has a much more robust set of options and serves as a way for me to keep an archived copy of the raster, something that works well for my workflow I can now use Gimp to modify it freely before pulling it back into the SVG, should I need to. Messing with default DPI is a bit more than I want to do 1 to simply export the png. As long as you set the bitmap copy resolution
