On this one, you can see at the bottom that the alpha value is at 100% I'm putting some pictures to illustrate : To put the alpha value to 0%, but then it also appears black.To select the path, and press 'delete', but it appears black afterwards.

I'm sure you see where I'm going : after that, I had my lineart with the colors I wanted, but some parts were filled with white, and I'd actually want them transparent. Select the paths that where previously transparent, and fill them with white.Select the lineart paths I want in color and fill them with color.svg file of my black lineart on transparent background.Īt that point, all of my closed paths became filled with black, which I thought, fine, whatever, I can just fill it with white. Now comes the part I'm not familiar with, because usually after this I have the. Selecting the old image below the newly created path, deleting it.Clicking Path -> Trace Bitmap -> Brightness cutoff with whatever threshold worked for me -> Ok.

Selecting the lineart by clicking on it (do remember that since I'm a newbie, there are a lot of things that I do because I know it works, even if I don't know how it works).

I looked it up and found a tutorial that seemed to give me what I wanted so I followed the following protocol : The original image is grayscale, I'm the one adding the color. I know how to vectorize lineart as to have black vectorized lineart, but for this one I needed two different colors for the lineart.

png image with some lineart that I wanted to vectorize. I'm very new to Inkscape, and I'm sure I'm missing something trivial.
