Best setup for OS X web workflow?

Postby linebender » Mon Aug 15, 2011 1:21 am

I would like to use Inkscape in a workflow along with photoshop elements to do web work. using Inkscape in OS X Lion (10.7), so inkscape runs in X11.

I can't copy in inkscape, then paste (successfully) into photoshop elements, but I can get a PDF there, and haven't tried the other Save As formats..

Can anyone weigh in on the best way to get inkscape vector graphics into elements? color accuracy/consistency is my #1 requirement. I am using web color numbers to designate my colors, ie, #784619, so that ought to translate correctly.


thanks for any tips!

Hi bender,
I know almost nothing about using Macs, but in lieu of copy/paste, would it be possible to import into photoshop? Or save the image in Inkscape and open in photoshop? I know you are talking about "elements" (thus your wish to copy/paste). But if it works, you might be able to alter your workflow to use it.

Just a thought :D
