I'm new to Inkscape, so please forgive me if this is horribly easy or common knowledge. I finished my first vector and want to resize it to a certain resolution. Problem is, I was a bit messy around the edges so there's a lot of the paths go outside of the image border. This means when I want the image a certain size, I change it to a resolution a bit above what I actually want and resize in Photoshop- this wouldn't be such a problem if I didn't feel that Photoshop's resizing made it a bit less crisp than Inkscape's. So after that monologue there, what I'm really trying to ask is this: Is there a way to cut off all of the stuff that goes outside the canvas's border?

Thanks a ton, and sorry again if this kind of thing gets asked all the time =X

If your talking about in png exports, then you can use the page/selection/drawing etc options that are at the top of the page to change whats getting exported.
If the drawing you want doesnt line up with the page, just draw a clear rectangle over the top and with it selected do export selection.

If your wanting to have an svg minus the clutter then you can group everything and apply the rectangle as a clip to the top level.

That works pretty much perfectly for my problem, thank you! And here it was such an obvious solution. Aheh..

I was trying to do the same thing... except that I'm exporting to .eps which still shows the original paths and such just like they're not clipped at all. Is there a more "permanent" way of doing this or "collapsing" the clip so to speak or some other way without manually cutting all the paths?

thanks

When saving as EPS, enable the option "Make bounding box around full page" in the EPS Output dialog that appears.
