It wasn't until I gave some other programs a try that I realized how clunky Photoshop is in comparison to many cheaper alternatives designed specifically for digital art. Sure, it's software for photo editing, but it has brushes and colors, so you can easily use it for painting. Hopefully some other members will be along soon, who can explain that for you.For a long time, I was a big fan of using Photoshop for digital art. For printing, when you set the size for the print, then all that higher dpi gets compressed back down to the print size, and you end up with a higher res print.īut for your othe program, I'm not sure how that would work. If you change the DPI setting in the Export PNG dialog, it will make the image larger (if you make the DPI larger).

I'm not sure how to make it high res, for import into your other program. If you don't choose that, Inkscape will give it a weird name, and put it wherever it wants (usually your user directory, which I don't know about you, but that's definitely not where I want my images). If you want the whole grid, regardless of where the page borders are, choose Drawing, and that should export the entire grid.īut if you have other drawings on the page, you might need to select only the grid, and use the Selection option.Īlso, be sure to click Export As, which allows you to both choose which directory you want to export to, as well as choose a name for the file.

First notice the 4 choices at the top of the dialog (Page, Drawing, etc.). If that's already what you're using, you might not be using the right options there. The proper way to export a PNG with transparency, is to use File menu > Export PNG.
