hello!

I want to set the background of an image (the canvas) to be a specific png file I have, with specific dimensions and its colors intact

in that canvas, I want to place an object/drawing inside an EPS file, that I am not sure how to make it have transparent background, so that the produced image will be the object on my custom background

any hint?

thanks!

Hi user,
EPS files, apparently, can contain raster and/or vector objects. Do you know if it has raster or vector content? If not, this probably isn't something want try to do.

all vector
thanks!

Are you able to open the EPS with Inkscape?

No, i had to open it in Illustrator and convert it in svg, first.

Now that you've converted it to SVG, can you open it with Inkscape?

yup

Ok, so delete everything except the object that you need. Then import the PNG image. Next, you'll probably have to send the PNG to the bottom of the z-order. Then just save or export, depending on your needs.
