Hi Inkscape learners and professionals,

I am learning Inkscape. I am trying to merge multiple colors or ornaments of different shapes, sizes, and colors into an object/picture. I want to see my final image with no colors or any objects beyond the boundaries of my image. Is there any specific tool I can use in Inkscape or tutorials on this to watch? Please see an example here.

Let’s say, I have this vector file:

And I want the final image to look like this:

Any advice and suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • Hi & welcome. Stack Overflow is about [software development](https://stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic). Your question will better fit in [graphic design SE](https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/). – Juancho May 01 '20 at 16:08

    In any case, you can start by learning about bitmap tracing in Inkscape, and then masking and clipping. – Juancho May 01 '20 at 16:09

As mentioned above by @Juancho, you must learn Masking and clipping which is mostly used in all graphic design softwares.

Your problem can be resolved by simple clipping (Inkscape -> Object -> Clip ->set). Check it out:
