Thanks syllie, I'll check it on GIMP. I'm not to familiar with GIMP but will try it.

Thanks brynn for your reply. Yes, I'm using Effects>Color and tried many of the options listed. From your questions, I determined that an image/photo that is imported, having color, will not change with any of the options. I drew a rectangle, filled it with color and every applicable option changed ...

I'm running VISTA Home Premium, do not receive error messages and when I have the image selected...I would try any/all of the options and get a large "blackboard" up in left corner and then something smaller would flash, then the image quivers and nothing happens. I have tried .bitmap, .jp...

Thanks brynn and rfquerin for your instructions and information. I do find it easier like you describe rather than trying to follow the manual instructions. Glad to know that I'm not the only one having trouble with the Bezier tool. It's a very useful tool and will keep practicing using it. Thanks ...

I'm running Windows Vista and using version 0.46 and just discovered yesterday that Fonts can now be changed with clicking "A" in tool box, then selecting font, and it will stay. Then can change as you wish without going to Text. Drop-down even shows what the Font looks like. Also, change...

Thanks heathenx, I walked through (without grouping) and made it perfect. I deleted everything and tried to do the webb without following your tutorial and when I get to the point of selecting the whole image to duplicate it I get the following image with all the dotted lines in it...course this doe...

In the tutorial...Inkscape Tutorial by heathenx: Webbing...I'm having a problem getting the Interpolate to work. I've tried some 10 times, following the tutorial every second. First, I have to group before duplicating, then I try selecting all in order to get the small webb selected, but the interpo...

Thanks Slow Dog, I didn't think about trying the reverse. The UTube tutorial and manual really specified that text first, then quadrilateral. I think the man on UTube said he was using v .45. I have .46 which I'm sure you have. Seems during the update that something jumped the track between actual u...

Thanks microUgly, I thought it had something to do with the grid setting.

I'm a newbie and would like to know how to change the 4-digit number in Defined Grids. I go to File>Document Properties>Grids>click New and my Inkscaper default number is 2383. I was following a tutorial that had a different number here. I tried clicking on New several time and the number would incr...
