There is option to "Keep paths" during import of SVG, with it you see can see all the paths on the Paths dialogue (usually on Layers dock) and you can manipulate them with Path tool (B) and use them like you would paths in GIMP, so this is a way to keep the Inkscape paths inside GIMP, but I don't expect everything from Inkscape would translate equally into GIMP, and I find Inkscape much easier to use.ģ.When I close/save the gimp document -should I rasterize the SVG or it can stay vector is it is?(The final destination of the file is print-it's a digital print) Once you import it, it get rasterized and you can't affect the quality of that raster any more. GIMP will ask you about what size/resolution you want for the SVG before importing it. It's good practice to set your units and document size in the beginning to the relevant ones (the ones you plan to use in GIMP). Yes, you can export to any size without quality loss. Keep the original Inkscape SVG so you can return and export losslessly to ANY size/resolution.Ģ.Can I scale it how much I need without quality loss(the final document(gimp image size) is big-it's 18"X24" 300 dpi) and I need to scale the SVG graphics to fit so Can I scale it how much I need without quality loss? But everything we use to display vector drawings is limited, which means bound by size/resolution. You can consider SVG objects as math formulas (to oversimplify it), they will scale up or down indefinitely without losing quality. You never know if you might need it later safe and with all original features preserved. It is always good practice to keep original format files for any work you do.
