SVG 300 dpi from Inkscape to Gimp - ale6rbd - 06-20-2019
Hi everyone,
I often use the ellipse mode for the pencil tool in Inkscape and I need to export the path as an SVG at 300 dpi from Inkscape into Gimp. Is there any way to do this?
Also, do you a way of recreating the ellipse pencil in Gimp?
Thank you a lot!

edit: Just had a good look around Inkscape preferences and AFAIK no way to change the 90 ppi value when saving the SVG. The value is hard encoded in Inkscape.
Remember Gimp works in pixels so it does not really matter about the ppi. It will use whatever ppi is set for the canvas.
However, guessing this is the issue.
File -> Open As Layers select the SVG image and get something like (1) Change the resolution to 300 ppi (2) and that has the effect of scaling the Width and height (3)
Fortunately the reverse is not true. Reset the Width/Height back to the original values in pixels (4) the ppi remains the same only the X / Y ratios change.

Edit: After all that, opening as the original (90 ppi) then comparing with a re-configured - 300 ppi + back to original size in pix = no difference that I can see.

An elliptical brush? All the brushes can be modified in the tool options, Use the circular vbr brush, adjust aspect ratio and angle. Save as a preset.

Another way, the old (Gimp 2.6) brushes are still there, just hidden. Copy across from (in Windows) C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\brushes\gimp-obsolete-files to your brushes folder in your Gimp Profile.
