Much easier and faster to use compared with Photoshop. However Adobe lightroom does provide similar features but isn't as capable with colour management.

Chose Inkscape
Inkscape has a much higher degree of freedom while Canva is more user friendly and intuitive. Although the really useful features are only available on the paid version of Canva. So for a tight budget, you get a whole lot of bang in Inkscape, as long as you have some time for a …

It is the best tool available to us for our workflow. Able to do most things really well, especially in the area of colour handling/management. It cannot be used for more creative work, such as making montages. Although it can be done, it is not the ideal tool for that.

It is hard for me to say when Inkscape would not be a good fit because of my use. I have referred people to those who provide promotional products as well as those who need to utilize their artwork and have it converted to a format such as Inkscape.

It is very good in general, but there are steps that I wish could be eliminated as they seem to be "duplicative".

Adobe Illustrator is also used in our company sometimes however, Inkscape is used most considering the fact that it is completely free while Adobe Illustrator has to be bought through monthly/annual subscriptions that are expensive. For that reason we always opt for Inkscape. Not only is it a free software, but it includes almost all the features and tools that Adobe Illustrator offers, even though there might be some tools missing here and there, for businesses whose main focus isn't graphic design, Inkscape is the way to go. However if Graphic design or illustration is the only or the main factor of your business, I would suggest going for the investment and getting Adobe Illustrator.

Return on Investment
  • The product has saved significant time through being able to batch process images
  • Collaboration has become almost realtime with clients able to view images and select the best ones through setting up an online session. Prior to this images had to be emailed across, this has shaved off days in getting feedback.

  • Building reusable graphic design templates reduces time taken on repeating design tasks such as video thumbnails.
  • Quickly making several design mockups allows us to conceptualize a design effectively before working on the finer details.
  • The "Draw Bezier curves and Straight lines" function allows one to quickly copy any shape to then manipulate and add your own spin on the design.
