      Curious why you would need Gimp and Inkscape? Wouldn’t one of them be enough? Is one of them better suited for certain tasks?

          Oh I see, thanks. I thought you could also edit images with Inkscape. I’m apparently not very well versed in these topics.

            You can load bitmap images into Inkscape and manipulate them to a degree, but Gimp is much better at that. You can probably also load vector graphics (svg) into Gimp, but I’d assume they would be converted to bitmaps.

            Vector vs bitmap is a good topic to be familiar with for anyone who works with computers, I keep running into professionals who really should know the difference but don’t.

              Thanks for the explanation! I agree, this has been very helpful already. Now I go and do some reading on it.
