Oct 19	comment	How do I create a bevel effect on a complex object in Inkscape? One other thing that I've noticed is difficult with the Inskcape filters is that when you apply two, they seem to impact each other. I found that when I first applied a drop shadow, then applied a bevel, the drop shadow would disappear. And, as you say, the interface makes it very difficult to determine what exactly is happening.
Oct 19	comment	How do I create a bevel effect on a complex object in Inkscape? @Scott: Who said anything about asking about a "1 button or 1 menu item selection". This is the second time you've told me that, and frankly, it's a little tedious that you keep making that assumption. Let me be clear for hopefully the last time: I am willing to do whatever it takes, no matter how complicated, I am just looking for guidance on how. What's wrong for looking for guidance? So next time you want to offer this tired and misplaced advice, save it for someone for whom it actually might have relevance.

Oct 2	comment	How do I get this uneven airbrush effect similar to old art deco posters? @Aarthi, Sure, have both images. But it's the red image that is the better example of what I have been after all along, so I've given it the focus.
Oct 2	revised	How do I get this uneven airbrush effect similar to old art deco posters? Put the focus on the image I wanted.
Oct 1	comment	How do I get this uneven airbrush effect similar to old art deco posters? @Scott, the original question describes an airbrush with paint spatters, which is exactly what is in the new image. All I have done is find an image which is more accurately matched to the text of the question.

Oct 1	comment	How do I get this uneven airbrush effect similar to old art deco posters? This question was edited as I found an example picture which much more clearly demonstrated what I was talking about. Apologies to anyone who had proposed answers based on my previous images.
Oct 1	revised	How do I get this uneven airbrush effect similar to old art deco posters? Changed example image to one that is a more clear example of what I mean. Altered text accordingly.

Sep 15	revised	Is there a filter I can use to create this 1960s poster texture? Removed slightly argumentative phrases.
Sep 14	comment	Is there a filter I can use to create this 1960s poster texture? @Scott: Fair enough. I suppose there are lots of people looking for shortcuts. But I assure you, I'm willing to do what it takes, I'm just not sure how to get there. All I mean by "global" is that I have an existing colour layer, so I think that going in with, say, some kind of brush and making touch ups runs the risk of some sections being inconsistent with others, unless I repaint the whole thing, which squashes the work already done.
Sep 14	revised	Is there a filter I can use to create this 1960s poster texture? Clarified that it's not just looking for one filter.
Sep 14	comment	Is there a filter I can use to create this 1960s poster texture? @Scott: Where does it say I'm looking for a shortcut? In both questions, nothing I have said excludes the possibility of multiple layers of technique, or of time and effort. The key difference is that in this question I am looking for something with global effects across an entire image, as opposed to spot specific effects that one might achieve with a specific brush or localized technique. The only implication of looking for a shortcut came with your assumptions based on the mention of the term "filter".

Sep 14	revised	Is there a filter I can use to create this 1960s poster texture? Clarified that I am looking to act on an image with already existing colours.
Sep 14	comment	Is there a filter I can use to create this 1960s poster texture? @Scott: The other question specifically looks for brush techniques, and this one is asking about filter techniques. In this question, I already have an existing set of colours, but I need to modify them, not draw them from scratch. In the other question, I'm starting from scratch. They are separate issues, requiring separate answers.
