Set up your filter then save your document out as an SVG. Start a new session of Inkscape and drag-n-drop that SVG onto your canvas. Voila! Filter will be there. You can set up a master filters file this way if you choose to do so. I like to save my filter SVG's separately in a filters directory and name them appropriately. Once you take the time to set up a filter properly, you don't want to have to do it again. ;) @bimbo

Is there a way to save this filter and import it to another project? Saving filters and allowing others to copy / import in their project will make a strong feature into inkscape. more power. wonderful tutorial!

Is Richard who made the screencasts with images and effects like scrapbooking and stuff? I really enjoyed them. There's a girl friend of my wife that has twins aged 2 or 3, and prepared a couple of pictures of their daughters with this wonderful scrapbooking effect. She really like them! All the credit yo you guys :-) Regards Well, then I’ll have to thank you both. Is Richard who made the screencasts with images and effects like scrapbooking and stuff? I really enjoyed them.

I'd also like to thank you for making them, Inkscape is such a nice tool and your screencasts are a nice way to get into stuff. I'd also like to say that I've found your site from meetthegimp.org, and I think that you and Rolf make a fantastic tamdem, I think you are great. Keep the good work :-) Hi HeathenX

I have been to the svn repo but I'm not sure which dir that you are talking about. I see inkscape_filters.svg. Are all of those effects rolled up into that one svg file? If there are indeed 24 effects in that file then I would hope that someone would post that to openclipart.org so that the community could easily get to it. Ah.

I think The way the site is set up you are supposed to rip the images from your browser. I guess its not really set up for filter effects. By the way firefox will not render the effects properly, but they are there. I was hoping when I uploaded them that they would show up in the built in Imkscape "import from open clip art" menu item. Perhaps eventually they will show up when they update their database. Alpha13 That is weird. I think The way the site is set up you are supposed to rip the images from your browser.

Good initiative. I forgot about Openclipart but indeed, that seems the logical repository for Inkscape filters. The download was a bit peculiar. When you right click and use "Save Link As", Firefox adds default the extension html to the number of the file (e.g. 16358). You have to change that extension into svg manually. If you use "Copy Link Location" and then use Wget, it works better because it follows the redirect of that number and then saves the file with the proper name (dhartman_fe-drop_shadow.svg).

I uploaded the drop shadow filter to openclipart.org (fe-drop_shadow.svg) I will upload the emboss also. I had to tweak the emboss a little. It seems to apply diferently depending on the size of the object....or it could be my imagination., dunno.
