Thank you Darth_Gimp. At first when I read your instructions I expected to end up with an image with a bit of white page behind it. No white page. Cool. I saw the page option in the export window before but I am just scratching the surface of inkscape so I let it be. Thanks again. It worked great. h...

How is it going people? I made some buttons for a web site for my kids. I exported them as png but I get this box around the image. As I write this I wonder could this be because even though the drop shadow is blurred it is still interpreted as a rectangle? Here is the image. http://i196.photobucket...

Hello everyone.

I have been slowly learning gimp and finally started on inkscape.
I like the metallic gradients in gimp and the metallic effects and was wondering if this is possible in Inkscape.
I have some images I made in gimp that would look much better as vectors.

Thanks.
