Top open source creative tools in 2016
============================================================
### Whether you want to manipulate images, edit audio, or animate stories, there's a free and open source tool to do the trick.
![Top 34 open source creative tools in 2016 ](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/styles/image-full-size/public/u23316/art-yearbook-paint-draw-create-creative.png?itok=KgEF_IN_ "Top 34 open source creative tools in 2016 ")
>Image by : opensource.com
A few years ago, I gave a lightning talk at Red Hat Summit that took attendees on a tour of the [2012 open source creative tools][12] landscape. Open source tools have evolved a lot in the past few years, so let's take a tour of 2016 landscape.
### Core applications
These six applications are the juggernauts of open source design tools. They are well-established, mature projects with full feature sets, stable releases, and active development communities. All six applications are cross-platform; each is available on Linux, OS X, and Windows, although in some cases the Linux versions are the most quickly updated. These applications are so widely known, I've also included highlights of the latest features available that you may have missed if you don't closely follow their development.
If you'd like to follow new developments more closely, and perhaps even help out by testing the latest development versions of the first four of these applications—GIMP, Inkscape, Scribus, and MyPaint—you can install them easily on Linux using [Flatpak][13]. Nightly builds of each of these applications are available via Flatpak by [following the instructions][14] for _Nightly Graphics Apps_. One thing to note: If you'd like to install brushes or other extensions to each Flatpak version of the app, the directory to drop the extensions in will be under the directory corresponding to the application inside the **~/.var/app** directory.
### GIMP
[GIMP][15] [celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2015][16], making it one of the oldest open source creative applications out there. GIMP is a solid program for photo manipulation, basic graphic creation, and illustration. You can start using GIMP by trying simple tasks, such as cropping and resizing images, and over time work into a deep set of functionality. Available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows, GIMP is cross-platform and can open and export to a wide breadth of file formats, including those popularized by its proprietary analogue, Photoshop.
The GIMP team is currently working toward the 2.10 release; [2.8.18][17] is the latest stable version. More exciting is the unstable version, [2.9.4][18], with a revamped user interface featuring space-saving symbolic icons and dark themes, improved color management, more GEGL-based filters with split-preview, MyPaint brush support (shown in screenshot below), symmetrical drawing, and command-line batch processing. For more details, check out [the full release notes][19].
![GIMP screenshot](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/gimp_520.png "GIMP screenshot")
### Inkscape
[Inkscape][20] is a richly featured vector-based graphic design workhorse. Use it to create simple graphics, diagrams, layouts, or icon art.
The latest stable version is [0.91][21]; similarly to GIMP, more excitement can be found in a pre-release version, 0.92pre3, which was released November 2016\. The premiere feature of the latest pre-release is the [gradient mesh feature][22](demonstrated in screenshot below); new features introduce in the 0.91 release include [power stroke][23] for fully configurable calligraphic strokes (the "open" in "opensource.com" in the screenshot below uses powerstroke), the on-canvas measure tool, and [the new symbols dialog][24] (shown in the right side of the screenshot below). (Many symbol libraries for Inkscape are available on GitHub; [Xaviju's inkscape-open-symbols set][25] is fantastic.) A new feature available in development/nightly builds is the _Objects_ dialog that catalogs all objects in a document and provides tools to manage them.
![Inkscape screenshot](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/inkscape_520.png "Inkscape screenshot")
### Scribus
[Scribus][26] is a powerful desktop publishing and page layout tool. Scribus enables you to create sophisticated and beautiful items, including newsletters, books, and magazines, as well as other print pieces. Scribus has color management tools that can handle and output CMYK and spot colors for files that are ready for reliable reproduction at print shops.
[1.4.6][27] is the latest stable release of Scribus; the [1.5.x][28] series of releases is the most exciting as they serve as a preview to the upcoming 1.6.0 release. Version 1.5.3 features a Krita file (*.KRA) file import tool; other developments in the 1.5.x series include the _Table_ tool, text frame welding, footnotes, additional PDF formats for export, improved dictionary support, dockable palettes, a symbols tool, and expanded file format support.
![Scribus screenshot](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/scribus_520.png "Scribus screenshot")
### MyPaint
[MyPaint][29] is a drawing tablet-centric expressive drawing and illustration tool. It's lightweight and has a minimal interface with a rich set of keyboard shortcuts so that you can focus on your drawing without having to drop your pen.
[MyPaint 1.2.0][30] is the latest stable release and includes new features, such as the [intuitive inking tool][31] for tracing over pencil drawings, new flood fill tool, layer groups, brush and color history panel, user interface revamp including a dark theme and small symbolic icons, and editable vector layers. To try out the latest developments in MyPaint, I recommend installing the nightly Flatpak build, although there have not been significant feature additions since the 1.2.0 release.
![MyPaint screenshot](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/mypaint_520.png "MyPaint screenshot")
### Blender
Initially released in January 1995, [Blender][32], like GIMP, has been around for more than 20 years. Blender is a powerful open source 3D creation suite that includes tools for modeling, sculpting, rendering, realistic materials, rigging, animation, compositing, video editing, game creation, and simulation.
The latest stable Blender release is [2.78a][33]. The 2.78 release was a large one and includes features such as the revamped _Grease Pencil_ 2D animation tool; VR rendering support for spherical stereo images; and a new drawing tool for freehand curves.
![Inkscape screenshot](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/blender_520.png "Inkscape screenshot")
To try out the latest exciting Blender developments, you have many options, including:
* The Blender Foundation makes [unstable daily builds][2] available on the official Blender website.
* If you're looking for builds that include particular in-development features, [graphicall.org][3] is a community-moderated site that provides special versions of Blender (and occasionally other open source creative apps) to enable artists to try out the latest available code and experiments.
* Mathieu Bridon has made development versions of Blender available via Flatpak. See his blog post for details: [Blender nightly in Flatpak][4].
### Krita
[Krita][34] is a digital drawing application with a deep set of capabilities. The application is geared toward illustrators, concept artists, and comic artists and is fully loaded with extras, such as brushes, palettes, patterns, and templates.
The latest stable version is [Krita 3.0.1][35], released in September 2016\. Features new to the 3.0.x series include 2D frame-by-frame animation; improved layer management and functionality; expanded and more usable shortcuts; improvements to grids, guides, and snapping; and soft-proofing.
![Krita screenshot](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/krita_520.png "Krita screenshot")
### Video tools
There are many, many options for open source video editing tools. Of the members of the pack, [Flowblade][36] is a newcomer and Kdenlive is the established, newbie-friendly, and most fully featured contender. The main criteria that may help you eliminate some of this array of options is supported platforms—some of these only support Linux. These all have active upstreams and the latest stable versions of each have been released recently, within weeks of each other.
### Kdenlive
[Kdenlive][37], which was initially released back in 2002, is a powerful non-linear video editor available for Linux and OS X (although the OS X version is out-of-date). Kdenlive has a user-friendly drag-and-drop-based user interface that accommodates beginners, and with the depth experts need.

2016 年度开源创作工具
============================================================
### 无论你是想修改图片，编译音频，还是创作故事，这里的免费开源的工具都能帮你做到。
![2016 年度 36 个开源创作工具](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/styles/image-full-size/public/u23316/art-yearbook-paint-draw-create-creative.png?itok=KgEF_IN_ "Top 34 open source creative tools in 2016 ")
>图片来源 : opensource.com
几年前，我在 Red Hat 总结会上做了一个简单的演讲，给与会者展示了 [2012 年度开源创作工具][12]。开源软件在过去几年里发展迅速，现在我们来看看 2016 年的相关软件。
### 核心应用
（译注：以下 6 款软件是“核心应用”的子类，认为应该使用四级标题，下同。校对时请删除该句）
这六款应用是开源的设计软件中的最强王者。它们做的很棒，拥有完善的功能特征集、稳定发行版以及活跃的开发者社区，是很成熟的项目。这六款应用都是跨平台的，每一个都能在 Linux，OS X 和 Windows 上使用，不过大多数情况下 Linux 版本一般都是最先更新的。这些应用广为人知，我已经把最新特性的重要部分写进来了，如果你不是非常了解它们的开发情况，你有可能会忽视这些特性。
如果你想要对这些软件做更深层次的了解，或许你想帮助测试这四个软件 —— GIMP，Inkscape，Scribus，以及 MyPaint 的最新版本，在 Linux 机器上你可以用 [Flatpak][13] 软件轻松地安装它们。[按照指令][14] 日更绘图应用（_Nightly Graphics Apps_），每个应用都能在当天晚上通过 Flatpak 获取。有一件事要注意：如果你要给每个应用的 Flatpak 版本安装笔刷或者其它扩展，移除扩展的目录将会位于相应应用的目录 **~/.var/app**。
#### GIMP
[GIMP][15] [在 2015 年迎来了它的 20 周岁][16]，使得它成为这里资历最久的开源创造型应用之一。GIMP 是一款强大的应用，可以处理图片，创作简单的绘画，以及插图。你可以通过简单的任务来尝试 GIMP，比如裁剪、缩放图片，然后循序渐进使用它的其它功能。GIMP 可以在 Linux，Mac OS X 以及 Windows 上使用，是一款跨平台的应用，而且能够打开、导出一系列格式的文件，包括在与之相似的软件 Photoshop 上广为应用的那些格式。
GIMP 开发团队正在忙着 2.10 发行版的工作；[2.8.18][17] 是最新的稳定版本。更振奋人心的是非稳定版，[2.9.4][18]，拥有全新的用户界面，旨在节省空间的标志性图标和黑色主题，改进了颜色管理，更多的基于 GEGL 的支持分离预览的过滤器，支持 MyPaint 笔刷（如下图所示），对称绘图以及命令行批次处理。想了解更多信息，请关注 [发行版完整笔记][19]。
![GIMP 截图](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/gimp_520.png "GIMP 截图")
#### Inkscape
[Inkscape][20] 是一款富有特色的矢量绘图设计软件。可以用它来创作简单的图形，图表，设计或者图标。
最新的稳定版是 [0.91][21] 版本；与 GIMP 相似，更多有趣的东西能在先行版 0.92pre3 版本中找到，发布于 2016 年 11 月。最新推出的先行版的突出特点是 [梯度网格特性（gradient mesh feature）][22]（如下图所示）；0.91 发行版里介绍的新特性包括：[动力冲程（power stroke）][23] 用于完全可配置的书法笔画（下图的 “opensource.com” 中的 “open” 用的就是动力冲程技术），画布上的测量工具，以及 [全新的符号对话框][24]（如下图右侧所示）。（很多符号库可以从 GitHub 上获得；[Xaviju's inkscape-open-symbols set][25] 就很不错。）_物体_对话框是在改进版或每日构建中可用的新特性，可以为一个文档中的所有物体登记，提供工具来管理这些物体。
![Inkscape 截图](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/inkscape_520.png "Inkscape 截图")
#### Scribus
[Scribus][26] 是一款强大的桌面发布和页面设计工具。Scribus 让你能够创造精致美丽的物品，包括信封，书籍，杂质以及其它印刷品。Scribus 的颜色管理工具可以处理和输出 CMYK 格式，还能给印刷商店中可靠的复制品上色。
[1.4.6][27] 是 Scribus 的最新稳定版本；[1.5.x][28] 系列的发行版更令人期待，因为它们是即将到来的 1.6.0 发行版的预览。1.5.3 版本包含了 Krita 文件（*.KRA）导入工具； 1.5.x 系列中其它的改进包括了 _表格_ 工具，文本框对齐，脚注，导出可选 PDF 格式，改进的字典，可驻留的颜色板，符号工具，扩展的文件格式支持。
![Scribus 截图](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/scribus_520.png "Scribus 截图")
#### MyPaint
[MyPaint][29] 是一款中央绘图的昂贵的绘图和插画工具。它很轻巧，界面虽小，但快捷键丰富，因此你能够不用放下笔，专心于绘图。
[MyPaint 1.2.0][30] 是最新的稳定版本，包含了一些新特性，诸如 [直观上墨工具][31] 用来跟踪铅笔绘图的轨迹，新的填充工具，笔刷和颜色的历史面板，用户界面的改进包括尅色主题和一些代表性的图标，以及一些可编辑的矢量层。想要尝试 MyPaint 里的最新改进，我建议安装日更的 Flatpak 构建，尽管自从 1.2.0 版本没有添加重要的特性。
![MyPaint 截图](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/mypaint_520.png "MyPaint 截图")
#### Blender
[Blender][32] 最初发布于 1995 年一月，像 GIMP 一样，已经有 20 多年的历史了。Blender 是一款功能强大的开源 3D 制作套件，包含建模，雕刻，渲染，真实材质，绳索，动画，影像合成，视频编辑，游戏创作以及模拟。
Blender 最新的稳定版是 [2.78a][33]。2.78 版本很庞大，包含的特性有：改进的 2D _蜡笔（Grease Pencil）_ 动画工具；针对球面立体图片的 VR 渲染支持；以及新的手绘曲线的绘图工具。
![Inkscape 截图](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/blender_520.png "Inkscape 截图")
要尝试最新的 Blender 开发工具，有很多种选择，包括：
* Blender 基金会让官方网址能够提供 [不稳定的每日构建版][2]。
* 如果你在寻找包含特殊的正在开发的特性，[graphicall.org][3] 是一个适合社区的网站，能够提供特殊版本的 Blender（偶尔还有其它的创新型开源应用），让艺术家能够尝试最新的代码和试验品。
* Mathieu Bridon 通过 Flatpak 做了 Blender 的一个 开发版本。查看它的博客以了解详情：[Flatpak 上日更的 Blender（Blender nightly in Flatpak）][4]
#### Krita
