Saving as tif or jpeg

Postby rubins » Mon Oct 03, 2011 9:23 pm

Hello, a few days ago I posted a topic for saving as dxf or dwg. It should be simpel, but it still doesn't work.
Now I need to save a file as tif or jpeg. Could someone please explain me how to do this.
Thanx in advance, rubins

I think you will need to export or save a png and then convert it to tiff or jpeg
should be fairly easy with imagemagick

$ convert imageImade.png imageIwant.tif

Inkscape can't save as JPG or TIFF. Like PatJr said, you'll have to use Export Bitmap to create a PNG, and then use some other program to convert to JPG or TIFF. I think most any raster graphics program could do that.

There is an extension which might allow you to save as TIFF, but it's more directed towards CMYK for printing. You can read more about it here: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5943
