Thanks for another great screencast. I really like the torn picture effect in the intro, but it was hard to follow at that speed!

I figured it out somehow, but I have a suggestion for splitting the image:

Instead of drawing two (closed) paths over the image, you could just do this:
- import your image
- select the image and do Object -> Pattern -> Objects to Pattern
- draw a cutting line where you want the image to be split (not a closed path, just a line)
- select both the image and the line
- do Path -> Division

Now you have an exact split of the image. You probably want to add nodes and jitter the nodes of the line before you do the division, to make it look more like a real torn image.

@Particello – check out a blog post I did quite a while ago about the comic fonts. There’s a link in that post where you can get them: http://blog.rfquerin.org/2007/08/04/a-source-for-free-comic-fonts/

HI!
Good work – as ever-.

I have a question: what is the name of the font you’ve used in your comic at the beginning of the screencast? Is there a version of this font for windows?

Thank you for your amazing Screencasts!

This technique can be used in more situations than I can comfortably imagine, which is great

The downside is now I’ll have to think of an interesting way to use it for the flickr group

Wow! I forgot about that picture of Richard and I. That photo was taken on the day we graduated high school. We were so young and good looking then.

@Zombiebrainz – you’re welcome!

@DonW – I’ve never seen that show. I’ll have to check out the intro to see what you mean.

@bytecreek – glad you like the tutorial. I posted about this very same question (my Gnome Theme) in the comments on Episode 080 – you can find the comments and a link to my post about it here: http://screencasters.heathenx.org/episode-080/#comment-1374

Just curiosity, which theme do you use on your gnome? where did you find it? It’s awesome!
On the tutorials: keep doing THIS GREAT WORK! You are amazing. A great help for all of us.
On Inkscape itself: at this pace it is going to be a really productive piece of software. Fast and loaded of features.

If you’ve ever watched the “Ghost Whisperer” on TV, the intro shows the girl tearing her own picture in half. Sort of interesting also.

Great work Richard. I now want to apply this to my mortgage
I especially liked the into picture of the heathenx family tree… very flattering. We can only aspire to such beauty and perfection.

Great work! I look fw to the flickr group submissions on this one! Simple enough to be quite dangerous Especially around Valentine’s day… I sense an “Ex” theme around the corner… maybe one of the Polaroid screencasts coupled with this one… a match in heaven!

Thanks again for the work you do.
