[ubuntu-art] A request

[Étienne Bersac]

Hello,

I don't condamn proprietary software users. But that's just as shame
when people see Ubuntu coming with "great professionnal art software"
such as Gimp and Inkscape, but artwork wasn't done with that tools. Does
the pope preach for islam ?

Can you share you files between Illustrator and Inkscape or between
Photoshop and Gimp ? I guess not without loss, using transitionnal
format that wont allow a rocking collaborative work or using import
plugin that don't support such or such functionnality. Consider the
problem of format openness.

Please don't consider Free Software as lesser software. A bunch of
artists use that software to do rocking art. That's often a matter of
habits.

However, I'm not one of those guys who wants to enforce people to use
free software. Just use open format readable and writable with free
software included in Ubuntu. I'm not able to buy proprietary software
license such as Photoshop nor Illustrator !

Wish we'll do a good work together :)

Étienne.
