    Nice work Rick. In all my years of using Inkscape I have not used clip and mask that much but for ideas like this it's a must. Very impressive and I do enjoy seeing how other people use the tool to create art. I must get into the filters as they look interesting. Thanks for sharing and hope you're feeling better.

    Thank you so much for doing this! Question: can a template be made for this project so that we can just replace the base photo with another one to save time on setting the watercolor effect then just adjust colors as needed? I was just wondering if this can be done in a much faster way specially when doing multiple projects using the same effect. Would appreciate your reply! TIA

  • @IronEchoDesign

    Thanks and great question! I have had good luck with saving projects I want to repeat as templates. But sometimes the tool settings get overridden. There may be a way to define the watercolor settings permanently in preferences, but I haven't found it yet. I know its just math, but Inkscape watercolor is hard to replicate. For speed, sometimes I open an old project directly and begin from there if the watercolor was doing nicely.

    That is a feeling I think many a designer has had. I believe the industry standard is still Adobe Illustrator, but for freelance it really comes down to skill and the quality of what you create. So Inkscape, Illustrator, Affinity Desigber... all tools to help you achieve some project goal.

    I think about this a lot. I know technology like Inkscape has helped me tremendously with speed of design- like with Trace Bitmap. AI will make design process almost instant. Someone still has to curate what is the best choice. What is cool and what is throwaway. I feel like writing an essay on this. Amazing question. Thanks!
