To get a jpg into Inkscape is simply File>Open.SharonV wrote:I am pretty computer literate and what I don't know DH can answer, but when it comes to inkscape... I cannot even open a picture in it to work on. I have downloaded the tut's from paper thread etc and I cannot get a JPG to even open in inkscape. I have never felt so dumb when trying to follow a simple tutorial..
To trace, select the photo (will have arrows around), Path>Trace Bitmap
I usually start with the first option, Brightness..., and make adjustments as necessary
Once traced, delete the original and you are ready to work/save the trace.
