[cuteeverything]

Wow!  Great job, thanks for making it so clear and simple!

[Wolfesmetalfab]

Ive had difficulty doing it if I have more than 1 internal clip area. It will leave them, but clip the outside. What am I doing wrong?

[ZiahInk]

T3h, What about if you want to you the shape of the image, sort of like a shadow of it so that you can possibly cartoon it or something like that?

[Zynt453]

I've been using Inkscape for a couple of years, but after viewing your video, I realised I'd been making using the pen tool harder than it needed to be lol.

Thanks for sharing your tips on using it with us all :)

Wonderful video. You made it so easy! How do you save this without the white background so that it's just the teacup and saucer? I'd like to also save it as a PNG on a transparent background. When I saved as PNG, there's a white background around it. Can you help?

[chadlupkes]

Thank you! Such a simple series of steps, and you made it easy to repeat.

[manix106]

Hi, i cant get past- object-clip-set either. nothing happens. Help

[Mvb0522]

Hi there! First you have to select both the object and bitmap by pressing "shift". Then go with object-clip-set.

[skillzownzu1]

how do you select two parts

[skillzownzu1]

WHat version are u using because on my inkscape it aint there.

[jaa05005]

using Inkscape 0.48, didn't work for me. Used the most convenient program to cut MS Paint!

[acikluvislam]

hello friend.. :) i have a problem after i click OBJECT>CLIP>SET it does't work,,the background still remain,,help me,,

[viviantravonne]

I had problem and notice that the combine shapes when shaded were filled in, with no hole so I selected the set self-intersection to create hole, heart with hole icon and then clip set and it worked.

[johnmc1985]

This doesn't work for me. I followed the instructions carefully. nothing happens. the image remains. I'm sure the solution is quite simple but i'm getting very frustrated! does anybody have any suggestions?

[viviantravonne]

@johnmc1985 I had same problem after I combine the item I go to fill shaded it and notice the center was still filled in so I used the any path self-intersection create holes and it created hole and unshaded center , then clip and I had a see through hole in picture.

[viviantravonne]

@johnmc1985 need to set self-intersection to create hole and then it will work.

[EverShark]

For some reason, this isn't working for me. I use the bezier tool to outline, including the place in the middle I want to cut out. I then combined the paths (just the paths), then selected the image plus the combined paths, and did Object > clip >Set. The outer stuff disappeared, however the hole in the middle that I wanted to cut out remains. Any ideas? I really followed this to the letter, so I'm wondering why you succeeded and I didn't! Thanks for posting this, it's a great help!

[CPLvtour]

@EverShark same issue here did you find out what we did wrong? thx

[KerstinRadford]

AWESOME, always wondered how to cut out things with Inkscape. Great, thanks.

[T3hTechi3s]

Thanks, my pleasure!

[frenchstamper]

Hello Gremnlin, love your tutorials but I am such a newbie I still feel a bit lost. What tutorial would you recommend for a nearly complete beginner using .46 ? The cup one looked easy enough but once I had done the outline I could not get any of my lines to bend. HELP ! Is there anywhere to contact you `? or do you have a website ?

cheers,

Jo
