Please consider a fact, that I am not some kind of Inkscape guru 😇 I've tried to edit it exclusively in Inkscape and it's definitely possible, however, it's all about path editing, so it's more complicated and time-consuming, at least for me. Can you tell me what the reason is, what you want to do with the transparent background? Then I know what technique to advise you to.ġ. And you have an eps file, which consist of beautiful vectors.īut this drawing is still a bit difficult to edit, as you want black lines with no fill colour.

If you want to work with vectors, editing paths is something to learn. I have explained the way to trace, but not the more usual way to edit paths. If you learn how to edit paths, some of the answers to your questions will follow. To delete the shadow under the chin, that is very easy if you work with the original eps file. There are tutorials under menu > help > tutorials. So you know what a path is, what nodes are. Maybe you can follow some of the tutorials on the basic principles. What is selected? How big is the area that you export?Īs you said that you are new to Inkscape. Look at the export as png menu before you click on the export button. I have attached both of these files as well.įirst an answer to your last question.

The original SVG I downloaded from Vecteezy and opened in Affinity Publisher and cropped out the image onto a transparent background and saved out as an SVG. What I would like to see is the 2nd image I attached (transparent_a.) but I cannot seem to replicate this a 2nd time!! I cannot also not replicate the image I attached called transparent_b. The issue I am having is that either method above is showing all the structural lines, if that makes sense, see the first image (transparent_c.) I attached. Open the file, select the objects, press white color from color bar below, choose a black stroke and adjust to desired width, under the fill tab: slide the transparency line to remove the white fill color. Open the file, select the objects, go to Path and Select stroke to path. What I have found that works is either of the two options: 1. and b.) I am not able to replicate and I am going crazy.

However, my first two results (which I attached as images a. I have tried several different ways and come out with 3 different results. I am a new user and wanting to learn how to remove color from SVG images and turn them into a transparent image with a black outline.
