Thanks.
Works OK if I do things in that order.

Windows 7 64 bit Inkscape 0.91 I am an infrequent user of Inkscape. Recently I updated from 0.48 to 0.91. No problems, all worked well. Yesterday I encountered a text entry problem that I cannot solve. I open Inkscape and select the Text tool. The default text in the options bar is sans-serif, 4, no...

I am having difficulty attaching images here. Hope this works. Example 1: http://imgur.com/Ur86Xm6,jq38m1g Example 2: http://imgur.com/Ur86Xm6,jq38m1g#1 Didn't work. Revert to the Copy and Paste option. Example 1: http://imgur.com/Ur86Xm6,jq38m1g Example 2: http://imgur.com/Ur86Xm6,jq38m1g#1

I'd like to achieve the following effect, with an arbitrary number of colors: Any ideas? Bonus points for being able to control the amount of swirl! Gimp has a built in function for creating spirals. Very easy to use. I have created 2 sample images using a built-in Gimp gradient. I you want differe...

A suggestion:
Instead of changing the background of your bitmap to pink, why not change it to transparent? Then trace the bitmap. Does this work?

Select the object whose colour you want to change.

I'm sure there must be an easier way, so I'll be watching replies too.

Here's one:

I see you have had no replies, so I will tell you what I did. I am an Inkscape newbie, I have only had Inkscape for 2 weeks. My first project was to get business cards printed. I first had to re-create a logo. I then created the business cards and sent them to the printer as pdfs. The end result was...

Thanks

The edges of the rectangle are to be 10mm in from the edges of the paper. To do this, I used the following settings for the rectangle: X: 10mm Y: 10 W: ...
