Inkscape Tutorial: How to Remove Background from Image

What do I do if I trace with bezier pen and at a certain point it decides to cut out the image I wanted to save, leaving the black background that I was intending to remove, with no image, only black left? I wanted to cut out my customer's existing logo from the black background and turn it into an SVG to use on a print then cut cricut project for them.

is it possible to outline an image in Inskape? I need to cut it out with an electronic cutter and the scanner doesn't see, for example, a white flower... and then I need to outline it. so...?
Thank you!

you are a lifesaver 😃. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video!!!!

What would you do differently if you wanted to remove the elephant from the photo and keep the background with just the outline of the elephant + background remaining?

Hmm. Wish there was an easier way to also cut the inner regions of the image. Using the Eraser to Clip from Objects isnt as precise and don't know the mask method yet...

You saved my life with this material !!! I will complete the project quickly !!!

Awesome mate, thanks for this

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!

How do you remove objects from a photo and then fill in the space where the object used to be?

Thank you sir, help me so much :)

Exelent ❤

I tried your methods, but .. something wrong happens!

When I remove the bg, some of the details disappear, and I'm trying to remove the bg from cartoon characters, but it's also removing the colors of the face, I don't know what I've to do 😖😖😖😖

thanks man you're underrated i subbed

Rick, last month when I first started learning Inkscape, I watch HOURS of THEE WORST tutorials! When I finally found your videos, I don't bother going anywhere else for Inkscape knowledge. You have THEE BEST TUTORIALS!!!! They are Quick, Clear, Concise and Entertaining. With other creators I end up leaving their videos Angry and Frustrated because I wasted my time. But after finishing your videos, I feel EMPOWERED and PROUD because I got exactly what I came here for. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Great help, and quick too! Thanks!

Rick, great video....question for you....When I removed the background on my image it mistakenly took some of the same color from the image making transparent spots inside the image. Is there a way to fill them back in or not have it remove these from inside the image? My image background was white. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey man, Thank You so much for your tutorial. You're helping me so much. But i have a question. When i did that, can i change the color of the object too? Once again, Thank You so much for your tutorial.

why when i croping the one i just crop is black?

Tip: If you have multiple paths you need to combine them, select all paths then combine them with Path > Combine. Then you can Set Clip as shown in the video.

I trace the object I want to separate from the background, I click the background, I opem path-clip and click set but nothing happens. What obvious step am I missing?

Sweet video, thank you appreciate the tutorial. Preciously what i needed assistance with figuring out using Inkscape

How do I change it from Single Scan to Multiple Scans?

Do you have a tutorial to get an object which is behind some noise. For example an object that is behind an dirty glass? Thanks!

Thank you!

you are just awesome

How do you get the bezier tool to snap around your image like that? Mine are all straight lines with nodes but yours seems to have a magnetic effect around your image?

Didnt work with mine

cant get rid of original background when trying to trace this as a new bitmap, even exporting selection i still get old background

This is exactly what I needed. Thanks for making this!

Why do I keep getting a solid color Clip when I do the set clip . I followed along but I can't get the image I clipped.

Love your channel :)

I just watched the first 40 s, but that is amazing!

You are so fast and leaving me behind. Tried to go back and follow but this is not a beginners channel.

Great video! What happens if there is a hole in the object or image like a donut, and you need to erase that area as well?

It's the second time I watch this video in like 2 years! Not all heroes wear cape!

Thanks...big help for a beginner...little slower would also be helpful

Much appreciated

Awesome tutorial! How would you turn the elephant into a black silhouette?

So glad I cam across your videos. Just what I needed. Keep them coming please!

Your video sux. There is a step missing. This does not work. All i get is a black outline of the car im trying to remove background from. I cant be the only one who cant do sht from this video.

Fantastic video with great tips, thanks Rick:)

Awesome video, you made my life so much easier. I'm definitely gonna watch more of your videos. Thank you

This is a great video. Thanks for explaining this idea.

Thank you so much! I've been wanting to do this and had no clue how.

The space I wanted to crop out using the bezier just turns black, any help?

Tracing the elephant looks really cool...but I cannot get it to work! All I get is straight lines, or very single curve lines...but definitely nothing like the magnet effect you're getting.

magnificent

Thanks you made it easy!!

Wow amazing,thank you very much
