Isn’t that cool!Īll you have to do is cut and paste the clip onto the original picture and group them together. Here’s the magic! Right Click>Ungroup and then, Object>Clip>Set ! You have your clip. Next, select the outline and Fill it using the Fill and Stroke Box. After I Fill the object, I like to remove the Stroke, but that is just my personal preference. For your photo, the Straight Line Tool might be more appropriate. I used the the Freehand Drawing Tool (from the Tool Box Bar on the left side of the screen) because the dandelion puff is irregular and I wanted to make a “squiggly” line around it. Now, draw an outline around the item you want to clip. I cropped it before importing it to make it easier to work with.
I’ll be using a picture of a dandelion for my clip. Go to File>Import to browse for the picture you want to edit and click Open. Do the same for the picture you are going to get the clip from. To start, import the original picture into Inkscape. See the result in the picture on the right. I was disappointed with this so I clipped a dandelion out of another picture and pasted it on top. In the unedited version on the left, you can see that the dandelion puff really doesn’t show up very well. In this tutorial I’ll show you how to use Inkscape’s Clip feature to cut a portion out of one picture and paste it onto another. Although Inkscape is not your typical photo editing software, I actually use it quite a bit for making changes in my pictures. But a simple edit can make all the difference. Sometimes there is no easy fix and the picture ends up in the trash.
We all take photos that don’t turn out just the way we planned.
