This is a very useful tip. I will check that out tomorrow. Thanks!

Found a workaround that has massively reduced the burden on my ram but probably made a few sacrifices as a result. I clicked on each of the clipped photographs and clicked edit -> Make a bitmap copy I then deleted the original clipped images. With each deleted image ram usage went down significantly...

OK, so one thing I tried but didn't help much, was to hide a layer with most of the photos, but this did not free up much ram. I am now thinking I need to rasterize those clipped images to get rid of the parts of the images behind the mask. Any way to do this without exporting the images? BTW I am a...

I am working on a poster in Inkscape that is using a lot of photographs which are then put inside clipping masks to fit with the composition. I have been imported about 20 images (out of 30) so far and for each one I have resized them (paste size) and then used object ->clip->set to prepare them for...

:shock: Oops, I have already posted the bug report. I had the issue on the two machines that I have tested it on so far. One was running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and the other was Windows 8 64 bit. Thanks for all your help. This forum is much more helpful , responsive and friendly than I expected. The l...

Thanks!

thank you for your reply. I found that the layers were set to 30% opacity. I ended up creating my own layer inside one of the layer groups and that solved some of the problems. The fast preview for the seamless pattern template wasnt seamless but the object ->pattern method seems to be so far :) htt...

here is another solution, on 0.92 click object-> pattern ->pattern from object then create a shape and click object and fill -> fill -> pattern works without a seam https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mzTclMpInK8/WIXcBIEzWBI/AAAAAAAAMm8/HbvdmojF3041rrcN9lOmhECGzFm4QMjZQCLcB/s1600/tartan%2Bissue%2Bseamless%2B...

I have just verified that the issue persists in 0.92 when using the clone tool. I tried the seamless pattern template but experienced a range of issues with it so I have not been able to verify whether it is an adequate workaround. Here is my attempt in 0.92 with the clone tool: https://4.bp.blogspo...

I am experiencing problems trying to drag and drop jpeg images from the desktop to Inkscape 0.92. This was not an issue in 0.91 which opened the import dialog straight away. File -> import still works. I have not tested this on any other machines yet, just my laptop. I teach Inkscape to my elementar...

Hi! I'm very excited about version 0.92 of Inkscape and looking forward to experimenting with the new features. I was trying out the seamless pattern template as I had often issues with creating patterns on older versions of Inkscape. I also teach my elementary school students Inkscape among other t...

I'm trying to create a tartan pattern in Inkscape 0.92 and I have a few questions. I am using the default template right now as I had some issues with the pattern template (will post later) I had each band set at 50% opacity. I would have expected that the bands would be 100% opacity where they over...

Are you using 0.91 or 0.92? I had this issue with 0.91, and I am currently trying to create a tartan pattern on 0.92 - having issues with both the pattern template in 0.92 and blending lines of 50% opacity. If your issue of lines appearing is also in 0.92 I will run into it soon, though I haven't se...
