  • This was a request from a viewer. She wanted to trace Chip from Beauty and the Beast. In this video, I'll find a usable image of him, trace him, create all the colored layers and put a solid background behind him, then bring the svg into Design Space for cutting.

    That was the most Helpful video in regards to changing PNG’s or JPG’s to SVG’s with color. AND you just saved me $249 a year so that I don’t have to buy illustrator. No one else has posted a video like this and it’s taken me a couple months to find it so you should put more tags in your video description as to what the video is about. So, I just want to say, THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

    This video was super helpful!! I'm just getting into the inkspace but i also found out that while doing this....when you go to fill in the same color of different spaces if you hold down the shift key as click each spot with the paint can it automatically makes it one path so you dont have to keep moving your outline or clicking on each one to make them a path.

    Great video Wendy! I just downloaded Inkscape yesterday and watched a video that left out many of the steps in order to get you to buy lessons. I am so thankful I found your video. I'm hoping that someone who wrote down the steps can share them. I do better with step by step instructions on paper. Thanks!

    You could also use the "dropper" sampler from your object (image prior to tracing) image to make, colors an exact match. I'm always good with fewer decisions that don't truly matter in the end - like you said, the paper you choose makes the difference.

    Thank you for the tutorial! I do have a question though...the black background...what would happen if you simply left it as an outline instead of filling it in? I ask because if I can leave it as is, and not have to change it, then it would be one less step to remember and seems simpler. If I was to do all of this EXCEPT the last step of filling in the black background, would it still export as a black later just as an outline? I hope you respond! Thank you!
