The road to QGIS 4 is open ! The #QGIS Roadmap for the next major version is now official ! https://blog.qgis.org/2025/04/17/qgis-is-moving-to-qt6-and-launching-qgis-4-0/

The migration to Qt6 is almost complete and will enable QGIS to improve significantly. The #CMYK mode will namely be fully available.

As for releases, QGIS 3.40 LTR will be supported until may 2026. QGIS 4.2 will be the next official LTR in February 2026.

Migration work will be required for plugins, we are working on tools and docs.

I don't understand why some print shops ask for sRGB source documents *without* providing a gamut limiting icc profile so you can see what the hell you are doing.

I get taking in sRGB files for non-vector printing. But without that gamut limiter you're guessing what kind of gamut narrowing will happen so you should still have access to an icc profile.

At least, in my opinion as a self-made expert

It might have taken an ungodly amount of time. But getting these corner cases right in this PDF export is going to mean the world to a lot of people.

Arabic and Hebrew and non messing up the glyphs.

Viva CMYK!

#CMYK support in #Inkscape could be a game-changer for professional print designers - https://www.davidrevoy.com/article1061/cmyk-support-in-inkscape-could-be-a-game-changer-for-professional-print-designers #opensource

A startlingly intricate and precise plot from a #ptpx participant who didn’t leave an internet name (which I take to mean: don’t announce my name).

But: wow.

This week's #inkscape video is a comprehensive look at all the features I've managed to do in Inkscape these past few weeks: https://youtu.be/iEp-ydPy2EA

Let me know if I missed anything.

Big thanks to all my sponsors on libre pay and elsewhere https://en.liberapay.com/doctormo/

This week's #inkscape video is ready and all about doing the CapyPDF work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ji0-ccKfcA

It's late, but I'm not apologising health related delays, etc, etc.

Bug thanks to everyone who helps me with my Inkscape work with funding on Patreon, LiberaPay etc. Links in the video if you'd like to help.

Bright birds that eternally flew"

Not a lot of people know that #Inkscape can do #CMYK and that functionality has been there for years. What has made it desperately useless is a combination of bad user experience, and a tragic incompleteness.

This left Inkscape with a lead weight of a project far too big to give to a student, too esoteric and specialized to interest average volunteer developers and languishing without the required resources to properly attend to it.

You don't need #Adobe #Illustrator to create product illustrations in best vector quality. As a matter of fact @inkscape is better in almost every aspect. Soon #Inkscape will catch up on #CMYK (thanks 2 @doctormo ) and we're looking forward to the release of version 1.5 already.

Can you run a #ux role playing game?

Come watch as #inkscape users play an #rpg with me to figure out what #cmyk should look like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbyC6iObdEo

A very interesting set of sessions that greatly informed my perspective on what users are looking for. I would highly recommend this type of UX #design session in the future before doing your own designs.

This week is an #inkscape request; I'd like to hear from #artists, #designers, #printers who want to use #cmyk and are able to particpate in a #UX desire-path study. Come watch the video here:
