    You can use the exact same method as shown in the video. On the menu bar select Path > Object to Path.

    Can somebody tell me what is the name of the opening song?

    Hi Paul,

    It’s a song called Derek Malone by a band called 3 Blind Mice. I heard it initially on the Digital Flotsam podcast.

    Hi,

    This is a really great site and has been lots of help. I’m using .47 and when I try to convert my image into a path it says “No objects to convert to path in selection” or something close to that. What could be causing this?

    Thank you,
    Zepher

    You cannot convert an image (I assume you’re talking about a bitmap image like a jpg or png) directly into a path. You can use the Trace Bitmap function to try to convert an image into a path, but you can’t do it any other way.

    You can however turn a bitmap into a pattern. Then you can use that pattern to fill a rectangular shape. This is most likely what you’re after. You can select the bitmap image, then select Object->Object To Pattern. Then you can use this pattern in the Fill tab of the Fill&Stroke dialog box.

    If you’re not talking about a bitmap sort of image, but something else, let us know.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your quick reply. Your answer helped me out to some degree. I encounter an error however, upon positioning the nodes to match the frame Inkscape closes with an error, (unfortunately no error #) freezes, or crashes. It typically fails from the internal error. Any ideas?

    Thanks again,
    Zepher

    Sorry, I can’t convert a picture to a path. Bitmap not works…
    But no matter. I created the same with masks.

    [...] sure there’s a name for this effect. Can’t find it though. Anyway, it’s based on this screencasters tutorial by the fantastic Richard Querin. Comments RSS [...]
