I made this logo of my name more than 20 years ago in the good old days of Windows XP. Today I tried to convert this image in Inkscape to Vector/SVG today using the tutorials and keep weird results, Brightness cuttof. If I try Centerline tracing, it looks OK but the lines shown are weird. Can someone help me recreate this logo in SVG.

So I can lasso an object. Then I can hold Shift, lasso another object, and it'll add that to the selection.. But I can't find a way of lasso deselecting an object from the selection. I think I could hold Ctrl and lasso deselect in Corel or Shift n lasso to invert the selection of any object. I've tried googling, but it keeps saying Shift n lasso to deselect.

I'm trying to export a multiple pages pdf file form an SVG in Inkscape. On some pages, an image, wich is from a mask layer, sill show in the export. In some other, it doesn't. It's the same image (copy-paste).

Some context for the image that doesn't always shows:

The image with the issus: I imported a jpg then a created a mask to keep only a part of it. Then, I copied-pasted on différents pages.

I can't show you the result because it's under "embargo", wich mean it can't be publish before a certain date.

I need help!

Please, excuse my english, it's not my first language.

hi, sorry if this is basic, i'm lacking the correct terms and experience.
i have a multicolor png image where i rounded off the corners in paint.net. now i want those corners to be vectorized so you don't see the pixels but a clean line. only the corners should be like that, the rest of the image should be untouched.
i rounded the corners in paint.net by creating a new layer on top of the image, drawing a rectangle with rounded corners on it, centered it, then inverted the selection, switched to the image layer and deleted the selection.
if i try to do this the same way in inkscape, i'm unable to invert the selection. the respective function doesn't seem to do anything, is that because the object i was drawing is still fully rectangular, even when i round its corners?

so basically i'm asking: how can i create clean round corners of a png image in inkscape?

i did also try and just trace the bitmap, but i don't know how the parameters have to be set, it obviously also tries to vectorize the whole image but the results were not good.

thank you and have a nice sunday!

Does anyone know a good SVG compressor? I have tried a lot of compressors this week but none of them work as they take forever to upload and compress.

I have some SVGs that I converted from PDF and they are big in size, like 25MB-50MB, so working with them as they are is making inkscape lag so much that I can't even edit the text after placing them on the canvas, let alone do anything else!

Maybe Im doing something wrong with the SVGs?If any of you know any solution to this it would help me a lot as I am stuck with this problem for days and can't advance further in my project.

Thanks in advance!
