If you drag a selection box around the transparent object, it selects it. <br />This means you have to guess the approximate location of the box, but you dont have to use "select all".

Is it possible to open an image in inkscape supposedly has alpha set to 0, but the backround appears as black in inkscape?<br />Does it mean that the alpha value is 255?Tarkulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02575011429641220883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251790254926657493.post-18943524167293856132010-02-21T09:45:49.899+00:002010-02-21T09:45:49.899+00:00I loved your Opacity explanation.I loved your Opacity explanation.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18120262442480309258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251790254926657493.post-45107200896610911472009-07-27T08:21:07.921+01:002009-07-27T08:21:07.921+01:00Hello Dan.

Don`t know whether I`m just too stupid or whether I compare it too much with the GIMP (but the difference shouldn`t be that much, should it??). But NOTHING works how I want it to work.<br />The first day I had the same problem with alpha/ opacity and couldn`t see my rectangles. Found it out... now THAT works, but nearly nothing else...<br />so: thank you so much, I am soooo happy to discover ANY tutorial on Inkscape (there are not too much good ones in the internet, I think).<br /><br />(pls apologize that my comment became so long... just wanted somebody to feel with me :D )<br /><br />GabrieleGabrielehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05873829431811529009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251790254926657493.post-72886863048696127762009-06-08T21:30:45.916+01:002009-06-08T21:30:45.916+01:00Dan,

Cut files are composed from shapes on Cricut cartridges and SCAL does not use the cartridges (apart from needing one in the machine so that the mat will feed through). You can create designs in SCAL by combining the library of assorted shapes included with it (these are called .scut files), as well as designs in the many free dingbat and silhouette fonts on the web. If you want to draw your own designs from scratch, you can use the free program Inkscape to create your own SVG files to import into SCAL.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01485291086578148634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251790254926657493.post-64020962371788180452009-05-22T02:52:40.259+01:002009-05-22T02:52:40.259+01:00Just a quick question.
