Read MoreOffset a Path in Inkscape
I used to use drafting programs quite frequently in the past. One common action that I performed quite frequently was offsetting lines, which was pretty simple to do. Every once in a while, I find the need to do something similar in Inkscape. While not quite as easy and straightforward, offsetting paths in inkscape can […]
Read MoreCutting People and Objects Out of Images in Photoshop
