Hi all,
I use Ubuntu and thus I work on GIMP. So I dont know how to create .SVG files. How about if I send you after converting them into .PSD files and then you can convert them into .SVG. Or you can tell me how to make .SVG files and I will send all the files again after converting them.
Thanks.
:)
Regards, Swapnil Narendra

Thanks for sharing - would definitely be appreciated if we had .SVG formats to use. We're encountering this problem with some of the really beautiful stuff people have uploaded on the Wikipedia 10 gallery on Commons - lots of great stuff, but it's all PNG, which means we can't print them off as big banners :(
So if anyone has the ability, would be great if you could also upload SVG versions alongside PNGs. Even if we can't get it done in time, would be great to have these as part of the historical record.
thanks!

Hi Srikanth, Just have to say Wow. We have been looking for banners and that's a pretty cool set. The only issue seems to be they are .jpg format. For instance http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/b490xQZPNdtvp8QM3MYIyQa6_cLq7Y_qUKXLZst... e
It would be cool/better if you could put them as an .svg or something.
Also if there is somebody who could perhaps put Wikipedia Turns or something with the same thing in Devanagri script.
PS : I have shared it under CC, I am just lazy to upload to commons, will do so in the night. [1] http://picasaweb.google.com/srik.lak/WikipediaXLogosAndBanners?authkey=Gv1sR...

Please correct me if I'm wrong. From what I read above you are using gimp. IIRC GIMP does it in .xcf format. You just need to install imagemagick http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php and convert/export it to the same.
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php?ImageMagick=4fvsbsbhh27m20nbeg...
Alternatively you can import them into inkscape (install inkscape) and convert them into .svg as well.
Either way should be good.
I did try out imagemagick couple of years ago for something similar and it worked out for me at that time.
Thanks.
:)
Regards, Swapnil Narendra
I really wish i could contribute using graphics, but due to my fracture, my current work area not been very conducive to using the mouse. I did manage to discover that one of my classmates had made a couple of wikipedia posters (by hand!) during while doing her BFA and it looks amazing. I am trying to get it scanned and processed for a print but it wont be possible before tomorrow night.
I'l send across a couple of pics of it by tonight. cheers arun

so does that mean that files created in GIMP cant be printed in big sizes ?
Unlike svg files, other format images do not scale well. Some svg files can scale infinitely. Inkscape is available on Ubuntu as well. I took the liberty to add Shymal L to the loop. He's our resident expert for svg and inkscape issues. User:Planemad would be another, but he's recuperating from a fracture.

Shyamal has made a svg version based on the same concept image by Swapnil. Thanks to both of you. I suppose Srikanth will upload it and share a link.

so does that mean that files created in GIMP cant be printed in big sizes ?
Unlike svg files, other format images do not scale well. Some svg files can scale infinitely. Inkscape is available on Ubuntu as well. I took the liberty to add Shymal L to the loop. He's our resident expert for svg and inkscape issues. User:Planemad would be another, but he's recuperating from a fracture.

PNG version is not editable in Inkscape. If main creator create with Inkscape and share the same file , then it fine for editing.

Hi all,
I use Ubuntu and thus I work on GIMP. So I dont know how to create .SVG files. How about if I send you after converting them into .PSD files and then you can convert them into .SVG. Or you can tell me how to make .SVG files and I will send all the files again after converting them.
Thanks.
:)

Thanks for sharing - would definitely be appreciated if we had .SVG formats to use. We're encountering this problem with some of the really beautiful stuff people have uploaded on the Wikipedia 10 gallery on Commons - lots of great stuff, but it's all PNG, which means we can't print them off as big banners :(
So if anyone has the ability, would be great if you could also upload SVG versions alongside PNGs. Even if we can't get it done in time, would be great to have these as part of the historical record.
thanks!

Hi Srikanth, Just have to say Wow. We have been looking for banners and that's a pretty cool set. The only issue seems to be they are .jpg format. For instance http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/b490xQZPNdtvp8QM3MYIyQa6_cLq7Y_qUKXLZst... e
It would be cool/better if you could put them as an .svg or something.
Also if there is somebody who could perhaps put Wikipedia Turns or something with the same thing in Devanagri script.
PS : I have shared it under CC, I am just lazy to upload to commons, will
do
so in the night. [1] http://picasaweb.google.com/srik.lak/WikipediaXLogosAndBanners?authkey=Gv1sR...

That's nice. if this could be any helpful, I can send you the .xcf files and maybe that will make your work a little easier and faster.
Let me know if you need the xcf files, I will send those to you.

Guys, come on. Send us the .xcf files, send us .svg, please put up something. I'm sure with all the brainies out here we can figure out something but without source files we would not be able to do a thing.
Just 48 hours left :(
Let me know if you need the xcf files, I will send those to you.
Please do. In fact it would be nice if you put it up on https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ten/wiki/Design and put up a note here, will figure it out.
If somebody has already made an .svg for the banner (as discussed above) please point out the link to me.
I just went to https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ten/wiki/Design and couldn't spot it.
Looking for help.
