Hi All, Iv started designing logos as a hobby with inkscape. Recently a friend of mine got me to deign his company logo for a small fee. I have the logo done, as a vector logo, and all is fine, but now he has a list of differnet file formats which he wants the logo in. I know that i can give him the logo in half the file…

Hi All,

Iv started designing logos as a hobby with inkscape.

Recently a friend of mine got me to deign his company logo for a small fee.

I have the logo done, as a vector logo, and all is fine, but now he has a list of differnet file formats which he wants the logo in.

I know that i can give him the logo in half the file formats, by just clicking "save as pdf" etc...but he has requested some file formats which do not appear on the scroll down list of file formats in inkscape.

Is there a way to convert to other different file formats, other that the ones contained in inkscape?

Can every file be converted into any other file over the internet for instance???

Cheers, look forward to your replies guys

I would download Adobe Illustrator, and try to save in Inkspace the Graphic in a format where Illustrator will be able to open.

I thinkin in illustrator you will find all formats what you need.

BTW: COuld you write which formats you friend want to have?

It would help if you told us what file formats they want it in.

Sorry forgot to give you the formats.

He wants them in:

EPS, PSD, AI (vector based), and JPG

What will i do?
He's looking for them by end of week (late friday afternoon) and inkscap doesnt have all of them.

Do you have photoshop? If you can open up the file in photoshop, you can save it as JPG,EPS and PSD but for AI you'd probably have to use Illustrator

Use the option Export. You will have more formats the link below it tells you whch format are supported in Inkscape:

http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Save_as_vs_export

AI is a Adobe Illustatrator format. Install a Trial version for example the version CS4:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/
or CS3

Try to save you work in EPS and then open in Illustrator.

Also - get a trial of photoshop and illustrator. That will help get the formats you need.
