Hi Joanne,
as this is related to raster images manipulation (manual pixel
counting...), it's better to use this tutorial for automatization:
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-folded-book-art-easier-using-your-comp/
Probably, it would be possible to do this in Inkscape by
first vectorizing the picture,
then cutting it into slices,
then breaking it apart,
then measuring the path lengths
but you wouldn't get a nice folding pattern easily.
So I suggest you make the picture in Inkscape, and feed it into the
program in that other instructable.
The space limitation could be a problem, though: For the Windows/OSX +
Virtualbox version, you'd need at least 10 Gb, the WAMP version for
Windows will be smaller, I think. On Linux, you'd probably only need
less than 1GB for all the additional software.
I don't know how big an Inkscape install is on Win, but I'd guess it's
smaller than 500Mb, and on Linux, it is maybe roughly 100Mb.
Regards,
Maren
Post by Joanne RancourtI found this tutorial for photoshop. Is there any way I could do this in inkscape ?
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Fold-a-Book-into-a-Word-The-original-tuto/
I have a new laptop and am limited in space. If I install inkscape,
how much space with it us from my hard drive ? if not I can always go
back to my desktop.
cheers,
Joanne
