Its' a hard lesson, I'm gutted but there you go. Just goes to show how much detail Inkscape picks up! I've had the same issue with two individual trees which have the same problem because of the oil. I think the only answer is to re-draw them again and colour them in but be extremely careful when blending them and using a cloth to lean on this time. As when I execute the trace the smudge appears as grey which looks awful on white paper. I want to use these as Vector graphics, so I have the flexibility of putting them onto anything without any shadows or background which could get in the way. If the background isn't white, the smudge completely ruins it. What I want to do is create individual trees that can be added onto christmas card designs, cushions and other products. I think some traces of oil got onto my hands, and where I've leant on the paper it's left an invisible smudge which is only visible when I try and remove the background. I think you've hit the nail on the head though, because on thinking about this, I coloured the trees in using oil based pencil, and then blended them with coconut oil using a cotton bud. Thanks so much for having a go at another trace. It just would be helpful to know where you're going after this (print on a holiday card, make a tshirt, print on a flyer, etc) before I try different settings. But the one you've shared with us is in very good shape, and should work well. I certainly don't think you'll need to re-draw the whole image. Theoretically.īefore I start some trial and error, can I ask what you're going to do with this? The reason why you want to convert it to vector? It might make certain settings more or less helpful. Do you know exactly how you're going to do that yet? Because you could just cut off that shadow on the left, as well. But you mentioned cutting off the spiral ring edge. It might be a bit tedious, but it should be possible to separate that area from the rest of the image, and delete the objects which create the shadow. Although Inkscape can't convert just any image faithfully, it can be surprisingly faithful! You must have traced a different image for the result you showed us. Maybe the scanner lid wasn't closed all the way, and the paper was slightly curled? Well actually I think it's more of a shadow. But if you look closely at the original, you can see it there too. You can see a sort of smudged area on the left edge of the paper. If you have any questions that weren’t addressed in this post just leave a comment below and I’ll write back if I can help.Ok, attached is the result of my trace, using the exact same settings you reported. If you’d like the document to actually have that background color (even on exports) then you can bring that column up from 0 to 100.Īnd that should do it for working with backgrounds in Inkscape. It’s important to note that your SVG background will continue to be transparent despite the color fill as long as the A column (which represents the transparency of the color) remains at 0. A color selector will pop up on your screen. Simply click on the white stripe positioned next to where it says Background Color. Filling The Background with Colorįinally, if you’d like the background of your SVG to have a color fill, this can also be accomplished via the Document Properties menu. This just changes the display, which can be really helpful if you’re working with a lot of white objects. Your SVG background will be no more (or less) transparent than it previously was when it was filled with white.
