Hi, This started as a question, but I think I answered it. I wish to create a look similar to this: http://i66.tinypic.com/2efn8fk.png My skill set included two inkscape tools which could help: 1. Pencil + Path Smoothing + node editing = Allows me with a little patience to create a symmetrical path ...

I don't think so. If you got a purple pixel and you tell the color picker its alpha is 50% how do you want to tell if it's a 50% purple over purple or a 50% red over a blue pixel or a 50% blue over a red pixel (and so on) Good point! I was wearing blinders because in my example the background is al...

Alpha Blending Solver Good suggestion, impressive that you have something that specific on file. While it tries to do exactly what I need, it falls a little short on execution. It get's closer than either Color Picker or me, but it is still off by enough that the human eye can tell. A JPEG image ha...

I have a .jpg original of our company logo: http://i61.tinypic.com/2d81c93.png (partial crop) I want to re-create it in Inkscape. (for obvious reasons) The only challenge I have is color-matching the original: When I use the Color picker I get an exact match, but for an Alpha of 255. As you can see ...

Thank you Lazur.

That does indeed solve the problem.
Double Clicking on a group = Edit group. (now I know)
After the double click, anything I draw is part of the group and the clones, it's perfect

Click-away = end group edit.

Thank you!

Hi, So far this forum has been able to find solutions where I could not. So I'm going to keep asking. Today's issue is with Cloned Tiles. Let's look at a small example: http://i60.tinypic.com/21mettv.png Top left is the original, the 'pin wheel' is made up of 6 Cloned Tiles. I have found 2 methods f...

Tiled Clones...yes that'll do the trick!

It's just one of those things that I did not know existed until someone pointed straight at it.

Thank you Lazur URH

Hi, I have figured out how manually mirror an object using Copy / flip / snap But this does not maintain a relationship between the original and the 'reflection'. If you update your object, you need to repeat the work around. If I google Inkscape + symmetrical + mirror I get some very promising hits...

A kind of weird solution is this: - export as PNG (I used a rather high resolution of about 2500px longest side) - in a new Inkscape document, import the PNG - Path -> Trace Bitmap. I used Brightness cutoff, threshold 0,450 See result attached: one closed path object, looks exactly like the origina...

I am new to inkscape So hopefully you will read this, and then tell me a much easier way of getting the job done. Objective: I created a simple svg file, which is attached (a little of this, a little of that, until it looked the way I wanted it..) I want to laser-cut this design, so I need to create...
