I needed to learn this so my CNC software can know how to do 3D cuts on my CNC machine. It's honestly the main reason I have Inkscape. I needed to learn this feature, but decided to start at Lesson 1 of yours and work my way here. I have enjoyed it so much, I'll continue to the end of the series and likely more for other software as well. Thanks for taking the time to do this -- you're a great teacher!
Thank you for these wonderful videos!! Not overly long, straight to the point and you keep reminding us to play around with what we've learned. You are the best!!!!
Just amazing! Great content and pacing, fantastically shown (I actually learn what you teach, not getting confused as so many other videos out there). Best tutorial video serie I've watched in a long time! Binge watch!
I was so discouraged from doing my own editing and then I found your videos!! Thank you so much everything is super cool! And you are great explaining everything easy to understand! Thank you!
TJ, I wanted to thank you for the great tutorials you are offering. I've watched the tutorials #1 to #10 and they are refreshing and interesting. Especially for a person like me who has an engineering background. I want to be able to engrave art shapes with a cnc router and I need to learn how to import pixel images and conver them to vector forms. Your videos are definitely helping a lot!
Man your a great teacher, what I like is that I can watch over and over until I get it. I am just learning with absolutely no experience. And i am actually following and learning. That most certainly said something about your teaching.
Thanks alot man you are a real star for making these videos. I have recently broken my collar bone so had a lot of time and started watching your videos. Amazing learning a new skill just watching your videos. Much appreciated. Big thank you.
I' ve just started learning Inkscape, but this is the coolest option ever. Just what I needed for my project. Thank you for this lesson! Greetings from Poland :D
This is what I’ve just learned how to use to create svgs for use with my Cricut cutting machine. I did a monster truck for my grandson. Trace bitmap is a fabulous tool. Thank you for sharing all these great tutorials..
Mate I have been trying to learn Inkscape by myself to make decals under 15MB for Gran Turismo sport. This series has opened my eyes to the whole process! Big up your chest!
I wish I could give this a like twice, because it's saved my bacon before. Both Inkscape as a program, and your lessons saved my relationship with vector graphics as a whole. I went to art school, and was taught Illustrator, which is a very capable program that was unfortunately very user-unfriendly during the time that I was taught it. I've heard it's gotten much better, since, but during that time, it was an uphill battle and a lot of things I can achieve swiftly in Inkscape took many more steps than needed. So, thanks!
These Tutorials are wonderful. Thanks Mate. My wife and I are about to head to Norfolk Island and manage my late father's T-Shirt business. Your Tutorials have been inspirational.
You really do clear up the learning - There’s just enough in each vid. Appreciated is both the learning, and that you choose to share your abilities thus enriching all - both those who learn and those who enjoy the results. I finally produced a simple drawing to laser cut a shield. Love from here and good health
Before I watched your videos I didn't know about illustration and inkscape but when I started watching videos I'm in love with inkscape. Thank you for sharing information about inkscape. You simply amazing.
I've seen a lot of silhouettes used as cut files for adhesive or iron on vinyls. This looks like a very easy way to produce those. Thanks! I'm enjoying these tutorials and learning a lot about this complex program.
Thank you!! I am super appreciative for all your tutorials. You break it down and make it simple to understand. Once I make it through Inkscape tutorials I will have to check out your gimp videos
OMG. You are AMAZING! I’ve been trying to do a shirt for my brother of a steampunk lamp he made for a show this weekend using Cricut Infusible Ink and I couldn’t figure some things out. You taught me more in less than 10 minutes than multiple other videos put together. THANK YOU!
Also....GREAT series. I've watched since video 1, been learning this app and its powerful applications, and I'm thankful for your teaching style. Thanks!!
Thank you SO MUCH! Been working hard at building out my Free Guitar Lessons videos, and I wanted to have some photos of my guitar neck converted to Vector based so I could animate them. This will help me a great deal. Much appreciated!
Bruh this is the best beginner tutorial seeries i've ever watched, usually beginner tutorials are very uncomfortable to get through but yours just flow like water.
I love your discovery videos way more than your rushing through building a thing videos, I went back to your earlier Inkscape vid's to get some more "wonder". I hope you will put some more of that in tour videos again.
The "trace bitmap" tool has come a long way, this is glorious! As someone who draws by hand, I gave up on auto-tracing because a black ink drawing on paper always used to produce grey artifacts which were a hassle to get rid of. And I certainly didn't want to have to draw the whole thing, only to have to re-trace it on a PC. Thanks!
Yep I love it. I use it all the time to create 3D stl files to print from drawings. I simply draw the shape I want or trace around a real life object or take a photo of it then bitmap trace it, export as svg, import into Tinkercad then extrude, modify and print. Brilliant.
I've been looking for something like this for ages. In highschool, we did screen printing using that technique of separating it into distinct sections and cutting the shapes out of lino for each one, then printing onto a sheet one after the other. Hard to explain but it's a sick look and I wanted to replicate it
this is the reason i have inkscape. i was in charge of getting signature images into an adobe stamp for folks to use. i found a chicago state bar site that showed me how to trace bitmap to get just the line of the signature so the thing could be see through when brought into adobe and stamped.
I did that for my guitar site - I have a few versions in different colors - such a cool feature. I'm now using it for some featured images for my blog posts
Pre-processing an image prior to vectorization helps a lot. I recommend a fuzzy-select on the darker part of the background, and delete. Then, you can vectorize with ease
I can't wait to play with this one. I was thinking of doing a black & white portrait of myself for my About Me on my website. No one does that so I will. But now /I can get some nice colors for different thresholds and get something really interesting - thanks!
I know your busy so no rush but how do you merge two of the tracings? I wanted to upload a pencil drawing for my profile pic on my website since no one does that. But this is cool - I did a blue version of a pic of myself and my guitar. But I wouldn't mind trying to do a few colors - maybe 2. But I'll need them to match up exactly. I couldn't find the merge option. I'm going to try a gradient overlay.
I'm learning this programm in school, but after waching only few of your tutorials I learn much more than with our teacher! I hope he knows about incscape more than me, but actually I asked some questions that he could not answer. Maybe he teaches only the basics...
The Guy is not falling, the back of the jacket, among other things, indicates he is being subjected to some force from his front. If you turn him vertical it is more obvious. for some reason the idea that he was falling just bothered me. Excellent video, it showed me a lot of info about the tool and further stimulated thought in a direction beyond inkscape which is what a good video should do. Thank You...

Before I discovered this god given tool I was tracing things myself with vectors. So much work for sub par results. Good video.
Thanks, it really is an amazing tool!
Just amazing! Great content and pacing, fantastically shown (I actually learn what you teach, not getting confused as so many other videos out there). Best tutorial video serie I've watched in a long time! Binge watch!
This is pure magic! Thanks for the clear, concise explanations (without annoying music in the background). This is exactly what I was looking for.

Great video. I couldn’t figure out how you were getting the different layers. You showed me what I was doing wrong. I appreciate your help.
I didn't watch the whole thing, but this video helped me find the answer to my question in about 30 seconds. Thank you.

What a cool feature, I never knew Inkscape had it until today, thanks!
As a recent release from the hoards, Thank You. Not enough stars in the sky to count my words of gratitude. Thank You.
Great video. Just getting my head around Inkscape and this is a really great video for what i'm trying to do. Thanks
Thanks for the tutorials!! I'm learning so much and have been so inspired!
Super useful!! I use this to change jpeg or png's into svg's for my cricut! Works amazingly!! Love your videos!!
Awesome!
Wow. Love it! Thank you! I am new to inkscape so all this info is very helpful. Happy New Year!
You're welcome Robin. Good luck!
This is awesome!! Exactly what i was looking for. But I'm still going to continue wathcing your tutoials:)
Thanks Mayank!
This is just what I needed! Thanks a ton for the video mate:)
thank you for the tutorials :) Damn it 's long but so worth it ! thank you for going through it all in such a detailed way!
I like this trace bitmap, gezzz, saves a lot of time,, thanks for showing how this works....
VERY THOROUGHLY INFORMATIVE; I no longer feel soooo lost!! Thank You,
This is so cool. I tried it and it works very nicely.

Nice tutorial. Just wanted to mention that you could check the live preview box while you adjust the settings, to see effects more immediately

This will be very useful for carving on a CNC router or vinyl cutting. My world is growing exponentially. :)
That's true. I'm hoping to get into this someday.
Thanks a lot buddy!!!!😄😄😄
