PERFECT! I downloaded and installed Inkspace to do ONLY exactly this for a shape I scanned for 3d printing. I accomplished my task only 10 mins after installing Inkspace (and never having seen Inkspace before... ever), due to this video.

You are amazing!!! I have been searching for a way to even out the borders of a drawn diagram and came up empty until I saw this gem of a video lesson. Thanks!

I've been thinking about downloading and learning Inkspace for a while now, but I think this has sold me on it!! TFS and for explaining it all so easy!!

Thank you very much for this video. Short, and great. Had success with this after fumbling through photoshop and illustrator.

I was still able to use this this tip today! Amazing! Thank you!

PERFECT simple explanation. Just what I was looking for. I'm starting to scan my rubber/clear stamp collection and want to be able to cut them using Design Space (rather than purchasing another machine just to do this *coughScannCut*) I was pretty sure Inkspace could handle what I needed and in 5 minutes you had me up and going! Thanks! You have a new subscriber. :)
