Good morning and many thanks for your responses.First of all, I have to
appologise for a grave error I made by mentioning PDF. I have NO such files
(yet) used in this project. The mention of PDF should have been PNG.There
was one Question about what I want to do. We live on a touristic Island in
Scotland and there is huge demand for original souvenir works of a more
artisitc manner. That is where the idea first started. Then we thought out
what to do and my wife developed this style (it is probably not unique on
the world, but certainly on Arran). After this, we though out what exactly
could be offered to the market. Which lead us to a variety of sizes of the
pictures. As all of this series are just black ink on white paper, it seems
logical to me to convert the original into a vector grafic (here with
inkscape) after I have scanned the pictured, cropped the result in Gimp
(XCF) free of all surplus white environment, export the result to a PNG,
import this into Inkscape and then export it immediately without any other
ado as an SVG. This can then be imported back into Gimp in the correct size
for further manipulation. The idea is to produce post cards A6, A4 and 3
prints plus sizes «on demand» I tried it up to a A0 Format to check if the
quality of the design is good enough to be blown up and the result is a
clear yes. Thanks to the vector technique we would get impeccable results,
say for the background in a local Restaurant or so.
