HI, would really appreciate some inside with our problem.
When answering please consider I am a novice in computer language .
I am drawing a outline / shape of a dress in inkscape around # 8 stroke stile.
save as a PNG and export it into Paint shop pro3.
Use magic wand to delete black outline of drawing and fill with other color next click on inside of dress drawing - to fill with pattern or color and now the problem .
It does not fill up to the outline even when we expand the magic wand outline another 1 or 2 pixels.
The edges of the out line drawn in INK are just so ragged any suggestions what can be done or we are doing wrong ??

Thank you so much Silvia

Welcome aboard!

First, is there a reason, why you using this method?
You could set the fill in a panel you can access by pressing Ctrl+Shift+F in inkscape.
Based on that example image, the same result can be achieved without that raster program.
It would only be necessary if you wanted to add like a painted texture, or some painted shades.

I used to have an old jasc paint soft pro, that didn't had a built in masking function, so moved on to gimp.
It's free, you can download it here:
http://www.gimp.org
The magic wand method wont get you a good result.
Basically the workaround is the same as you would bild up a drawing in inkscape, from separate paths with fill only.
If I was to do that in gimp, I would create a layer on top for the outlines, and one for the fill.
The fill's edge would be covered under the outlines, and both layer would have a mask, so that I could change the colours without any edge detecting alike that magic wand has.

In a nutshell, it is much easier to do such in inkscape, than to get a good workaround in a raster image program.

And another note, use export to bitmap instead of save as bitmap, because this way you can set the dimension of your image.

Lazur - many thanks for trying to help me.
yes unfortunatelly in designing my greeding cards I do want to fill with textures gradient and such. So i quess INK is out for drawing templates and I have to learn to draw in PSP.
I have used gimp for certain things in my creations but never for "filling" .
this cupcake card is a sample of what I am talking about - I drew the template with ink and then uses psp to create the greeding card
Again Thank you very much for trying to help, Silvia

Silvia, I think you might have misunderstood Lazur. Inkscape can do all of what you want to do, and much more cleanly than doing it in a raster editor (like PSP). There would only be 2 problems that I would see, in using Inkscape exclusively.

1 - If you need an EPS file, for some reason which I don't understand, Inkscape gradients might not work.
2 - PSP probably has many more native textures than Inkscape.

But you should be able to do all your line work and solid strokes and fills with Inkscape, then just use PSP for the fancy textures (and possibly gradients).

Seeing that example card, only that denim texture would be tricky to draw in inkscape.

The way you want to go I could help directly only in gimp.
The workaround is similar in psp I guess:
Set no fill but outlines in inkscape before exporting, and save it as outlines.png for an example.
Then, in inkscape, set no outlines but fills only, and export to like a fill.png.
After that, open the fill.png as a new layer of your card drawing, and set it's alpha channel as a layer mask,
then open the outlines.png on a new layer above.
That way you can work with any pattern on your fills, without any problems with the fill's border.
