Transparant image convert

Postby Eric1982 » Tue Jun 01, 2010 4:44 am

Dear forum-members,

Currently I am trying to convert an image (.JPG) into an image with a transparent, but I need some help.

Would please let me know how I can achieve this? (I remember a 'Place' function in Adobe Photoshop, is there something like that in Inkscape?)

Thank you in advance and looking forward to your replies.

Best regards,
Eric

If you need it in SVG format, please try this:
1 - Open Inkscape
2 - File menu > Import
3 - Path menu > Trace bitmap (be sure to select 'Remove background')

If you need it to remain JPG, or any other raster format, probably best to use a program like The GIMP.
