Deleting White Background

Postby DrT » Sun Dec 09, 2018 12:23 am

Hi!

I am using Inkscape 0.92.3 running under Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit, Service Pack 1.

I have an image which I imported from a JPG file. The image is a fire hydrant on a white background.

How can I delete the white background so that I can paste the fire hydrant on a drawing (i.e., a cityscape) that I previously created?

Thank you!

Dr. T

You might go away with the filter->fill+transparency->Brightness eraser:
