Graphic suite  
Written by Daniele the 19 Feb 09 at 10:14. New
It's a little idea, but what about an Open source graphic suite?
a package that has Gimp + Inkscape + (don't know) :)

More collaboration with this 2 fantastic program, for example I can't use brushes in inkscape..(and I think that lot of people want) and i can't send a vector image directly to gimp (converted in png for example) with only a click.

Something like corel suite, or adobe suite you know.. :)
Bye bye

Solution #1: Collaboration between Gimp and Inkscape
Written by Daniele the 19 Feb 09 at 10:14.
A big project between gimp and inkscape, both will maintain the name but with the collaboration is possible to create a powerful graphic suite.

Integrate brushes (vector) in inkscape (like AdobeIllustrator)
Option -> send to inkscape (in gimp)
Option -> send to Gimp (in inkscape)

These are some exmples :)

Bye!! :)

Solution #2: Make Graphic Suite collaboration/compatibility framework
Written by Robutux the 21 Feb 09 at 14:02.
Make a framework on top of Gimp, Inkscape etc. with well defined APIs so every graphics application can use it. Applications would register themselves with this framework and published its capabilities for other applications to use.

For example Gimp would publish its capability to import bitmap images, Inkscape would then discover this capability and provided this option to the user in export submenu.

Solution #3: Cross User Interface
Written by dael99 the 24 Feb 09 at 18:26.
I think that one of the best things of Adobe CS is the cross-UI.

We know that already we have the power to make a high quality Graphics Suite, bute they do not colaborate with each other.

Having a cross UI will let the user interact as good to each other.

Solution #4: All-in-one Modular Graphic Software
Written by carvao the 26 Jun 09 at 18:49.
A software composed by different modules: a viewer, bitmap editor, vector editor, desktop publishing, web creator, and so on. The user chooses which modules wants to install or use by the time he/she opens a file or creates a new project.
