How to change background color of an image

Postby cri84 » Sat Aug 15, 2015 7:22 am

Hi guys,

I'm very new to Inkscape and i don't have much experience with other design softwares.
I am wondering how to change the background color of an image. Is possible to do so? And if yes how?

Thank you so much

That depends on the image.

Two ways I can think of:
1) File -> Document properties -> Background color (mind also the transparency, by default the background is transparent)
2) Put an object (eg. a rectangle) of the desired color below all the rest (maybe on a layer apart that you put at the bottom).
