the combination of powerpoint and inkscape is so powerful... your focused explanation cleared so much up for my scrambled brain! thank you for sharing so generously....
Perfect explanation. Very clear & I was able to make a perfect image of my late grandpa when he was in the Navy in his early 20's! I plan on making something special for my 88 year old grandma. I'm sure she will love it. Thanks for helping make my goal happen!!
Very helpful. I used inscape to create SVG files this way and used them to print the face silhouette with 2 black gray and white filaments. The effect is really nice.
thank you! I'm new to woodworking and looking to do something exactly like this (in 5 layers of tinted wood) to make a portrait BUT searching different tutorials and programs didn't reall work. This is PERFECT!
Thank you so much Troy, this looks more like what I want. I want to thank you for your videos, they are so helpful. I spend a lot of time with you on You Tube. Your videos are so easy to understand and follow. I do follow you word for word and I follow along like you say to do. It is so easy when I'm working on the same thing you are working on, it make more since to me. Thank you for responding to me so quickly.
thanks so much.. really helped me in making scroll saw patterns from an image. but i did run into a challenge. i found a pretty good layer which can is close to the actual image but a major part (A detail i want) is on another layer (an eyebrow in my case). so the question is how do i take a detail from one layer and paste into another. could you please let me know. thanks in advance :)
Nice job. I've found that it is easier to just reduce the colors to 2 or 3 using a raster program while the file is still a raster. I then do trace in Inkscape.
Hi Troy, I love your videos and find them very helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to create these videos for people like myself. I'm hoping you can help. I'm running into an issue when trying to use a photo with people of darker complexions as a stencil. Can you offer any suggestions?
hello, when i select path trace bitmap, nothing pops up. even if i do it with the command buttons, i do not get a window open like you do. is there a step i am missing to show that window?>
So, what you did here in the video worked only once for me, the very first time I imported a picture. Now, when I go to UNGROUP any other picture, there are no layers. Even shutting down, restarting or waiting a day does not work. Help?
I am a scroller (someone that cuts wood with a scroll saw), and I am trying to figure out an issue but cant find anything on it. After i trace out my portrait; and cut the background out, i want to use the trace Bitmap tool. The problem i have is that when i try to do this, the background is back. Do you happen to know how to fix this issue?
The newer versions of Inkscape have single and multiple scan tabs. I use single for simple tracings and the multiple tab for color or grays (like here). Make sure you can choose the number of scans so you know your on the multiple scan tab. Make sure you have stack scans selected.
Thank you so much for sharing. I have a question. When removing the pixels are you bouble clicking and deleteing(back space) or you're just double clicking ?
I was wondering if you you could recommend another program to remove the background in starting this project. As you mentioned the importance of starting with a clean photo, is there anything else comparable that I could pay less for
Hi is it possible to add a video stream in inkscape or on a svg file ... Example am doing automation using inkscape as the backdrop and like to add my cameras on a placeholder...
Thanks, do you know what version of Inkscape you have, I downloaded Inkscape but must have a different version as I do not have as many options as you - very apparent in "Trace Bitmap" - my version looks nothing like yours.
This is probably a long shot since this vid is 3yrs old. But I find I can't get the amount of detail i want from just one "scan" . Is there a way to combine the last two "scans" you had there to be able to show more of the detail that her hair would've showed? I always find two images that i wish I could fuse together to get more detail, but have no clue how to create it.
Oh ok well when I try to upload my image it's no where to b found. I have saved many images so know how to do it. But my photo I did would not save. Is it right to save to my desktop? Thanks for replying 😊
Hello Troy would you happen to have a video on how to do a silhouette of a googled image? I'm in desprate need of help and I do find your videos helpful
for some reason i just can't figure out how to turn my photo into a svg without it looking all crazy iv'e been trying for 2 weeks can you help me please
Ok I figured out the ungroup, but I don't have Vector option in my design space, it just says upload image. I saved image but when I go to upload it it's not there!! Spend half my day trying to figure it out!! Any help would b so appreciated!!!
How are you deleting all the pixels/nodes? And filing in the areas with black? I have tried and tried and tried and CANNOT delete those nodes! When I try to delete them it deletes the whole pic and yes I am drawing a box/rectangle around just the spot I am trying to delete.
+Willow Bend Keep in mind you are working with paths, as in the "path" your blade or pen will move along. Take the letter "O" for example. There is an inside path and an outside path. If I delete the nodes that make up the center cut-out (aka the inside path as I call it) then it becomes a solid shape. Hope that helps.
sad/// doesnt work for one bit.. cant get an update or press oke and get inkscape to do something....also getting a whole other menu when dragging or opening so maybe this is an old version of inkscape?
Tried to create Cricut account but it is only available for Americans, Canadians, and UK apparently. To bad if your an Aussie or from some other part of the world. Ya get that I guess.
@@youcancreateit maybe you have all layers selected if you have the same problem^^ then click first in an empty space and you can seperate them. bad english sry
It's very simple. You have to use a bitmap picture for it to work. That's why it says "trace bitmap". If you use jpeg or any other format it's not gonna work.

Very helpful. I used inscape to create SVG files this way and used them to print the face silhouette with 2 black gray and white filaments. The effect is really nice.
I’m new to Inkscape and making svg. Thank you. This was easy to understand and I think I can actually do this myself. You are my hero
This was PERFECTLY explained!!! Thank you for not beating around the bush!! You got right in it!!!

How do I get my editing box bigger? It's so small that I can't see what I'm trying to edit
Perfect tutorial to do side by side. Thank you! I'm starting a new chapter in life (Cricut Maker) and this is awesome!
Thanks dude, best Inkscape tut I have watched in a while. Thanks again!
This is AWESOME! I have been struggling with this and now it is easy. Thanks!
Thank you. I'm learning to change a photo to a line drawing for use in documents to share online or print for publication.
THank you so much! It's the first video I watch and think I can totally do this!

How come I can only see oval shape in the white back round when I delete nodes? but I don't see it in the black area.Thanks

Ugh, have done all the other challenges but cannot for the life of me remove the spots I want out. What is the delete tool??
A great lesson...........thanks Troy and I've shared.............................pat
I am having trouble removing the brightness cutoff at the top under single scan so all I get is one scan. How to I uncheck that?

Love this video. Your videos are so easy to follow. Thanks so much.
This is very Helpful. Thank you
thank you Troy, for some reason when I am hitting the ungroup button nothing is happening ..... help pretty please
This is a wonderful tutorial but I have one problem. When I follow the instructions after I ungroup I only get one copy why?

Looking forward to trying this.

When I try to clean up the image and select the spots to delete it deletes the entire image. What am I doing wrong?

You can place one of the scans on top of the other. Then select the two, then Group under Objects.

Make sure you downloaded from Inkscape.org, nowhere else.
Best tutorial ever on this topic!
Tried to create Cricut account but it is only available for Americans, Canadians, and UK apparently. To bad if your an Aussie or from some other part of the world. Ya get that I guess.
I can't delete the nods. How are you deleting them.?
Click on them and hit delete.
You can remove the background in Inkscape as well
My Inkscape didn’t give me the gray option when I hit path
Mine looks nothing like that I’m so sad
Things go well until I try to ungroup and it refuses to do it, any suggestions? Thanks
I'm having that same problem today. Any suggestions?
This was so helpful! Thank you!!
hey can i convert this into gcode
Thank you so much! It help me to design a lake map I wanted to design!
Hello, can I pay you to make a photo like this of my German shepherd? I want to make a shirt of my dog with HTV. Please let me know :)

Same here, I don't get any layers. Troy can you help us please?
Scarlet Spivey LoL, For all who cant separate them after ungruop, unselect all with a left click in clear space xD and than it work
@@hubertherbert4607 What??
@@youcancreateit maybe you have all layers selected if you have the same problem^^ then click first in an empty space and you can seperate them. bad english sry
very nice video,thanks a lot!
my inkscape runs very very slow... :( Any thing I could do about that ?
ruchika bn which os art you using and is your ram too low?
Inkscape can run on a Raspberry Pi... You'd have to be using something really fucked up.
amazing video
sir, can i import it to AutoCAD?
I am not real familiar with Autocad. The last version I used was version 1.1 in 1986 :D I'm pretty sure it can import SVG files, though.
ok troi, thanks......i'll just try tu find out
Brilliant Tutorial!
