Making an svg vector in csp then saving it and editing it in inkscape because csp has a better symmetry tool but rounds the edges and i want them sharp.
Then going back to csp and making a gradient layer on top of the vector to use as a cliping mask.
But forgetting the aspect ratio of the svg save file only to discover csp cant open them, only "import" on an already opened canvas.
Then trying to use my "acquired" copy of psd cs6 only to realize they cant open svg.
Then using photopea to open the svg file and then the png gradient file and adjusting that to the svg and then saving it as ANOTHER png so that i can clip the svg to the png in Affinity publisher.
Halp.
