Love your videos^^ And love the way youre sayin' "blur".

And thanks for the help^^

I finally figured out that i cannot use the select tool to drag around the heart in order to "select everything" rather i must go to Edit - "Select All" and then i am able to use the Clip - Set : )

Again, i really enjoy your videos & appreciate the easy to follow pace you use. Will defiantly watch more & look forward to you continuing to share your skills.

@Krowe2020 ~ ps. is there any other way i can get rid of the blur other than Clip & Set? because i have just rebooted my pc & gone through all the steps again and again the Clip/Set will not work. : ( btw ~ Great tutorials!! Really appreciate your time.

Bummer I cannot get the Clip - Set to work. Any suggestions? Would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the video. Very easy to understand, and I very much appreciate that you take the time to explain what is happening and why.

If anyone happens to be looking for what I was looking for, here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to achieve this effect on gimp. Not the same, but you could always import the effected image onto inkscape in the end. wwwDOTscriptolDOTcom/design/gi­mp/blur-edge.php "Method for a choosen shape"

Hi, I'm trying to achieve this effect with a clipped picture. Unfortunately clipped pictures keep their original borders, they just hide part of your cut, so this effect will just work on the original edges. Also I can't seem to use the subtract boolean operation on pictures. So is there anyway around this?

Thanks
