hello,

I have an "old-school" artist friend who likes to draw on paper with a pencil (it's really a friend, not me
We usually scan his art (comicbook pages), enhance the JPG with Gimp and use Inkscape to make an SVG file.
I have to do extra steps to slice his work into panels (in Gimp) so I can have more control over the layout independently in Inkscape.

Is there a way to do this "slicing" within Inkscape so I can eliminate the extra work in Gimp? It would save a great amount of time and speed up our process.

thanks,
--iM

Hi.

You can use the clipping option on the embedded raster image, and on it's duplicants for each panel.
However, if you want to autotrace the panels, you would need first to trace it, then clip the traced group -and possibly get rid of the original raster image.
