I don't know Inkscape well enough if it can duplicate these primarily used tasks. I had intended to include Inkscape in that detailed descriptions of specific tool, however, most of my tutorials make heavy use of beveled shapes, edge feathering and varying transparency applications. I planned to include a chapter detailing the simple instructions from the tutorials to specific tools and techniques with the mentioned software. The techniques I use can be duplicated in a number of other applications, including Photoshop, GIMP, Illustrator, CorelDraw and many others. While the main book is being created using Xara Photo & Graphic Designer, my preferred application. I am in the process of writing a tutorials guide for creating photo-realistic fantasy maps for use in RPG and board games using many different graphics applications.
