Kind and easy teaching. Not over one's head. Thank you.

Awesome thank you. I was kinda worried at first because I didn't have the right panel stuff. I figured it might be like Photoshop but nope so I had to click one by one throughout the menu above till I saw Export to PNG under FIle finally matching what you had on the video. 😏
For those that see some canvas thing don't worry about that when exporting this to PNG to use in photoshop. The whole image will be saved so long as you follow his steps and once you get to the Export to PNG > Export part.

Thank you, new to this, my export does not have the "export as" option, just export so i can't pick where to save it or what to name it. Do you know what could be wrong with my Inkscape setup?

I have exported the file as a png and all looks good until I come to print the file. I followed your Boston Map tutorial and on printing, the greens were blue? Where would the issue lie? Inkscape or printer?

[ElderHollowStudio]

Great video, thank you. Do you have any idea why my png image is blank?

[beanyfn]

Wow that actually helped me thank you :)

[Rejken]

Is it possible to import several PNG files into the programs, which I will then convert into a one PDF file?

[pooruanimations]

[colerubins]

Hey there, thank you for sharing this! Is there a way to export a multi-layer design into a PNG while keeping each layer separate? Thanks!

[jimsgreatloot]

hello my friend, i did the exact same steps but still has that white background, is there something else i should know? I need your help

[kaycocreations]

Hey again, I ran into a problem where the exported PNG image is blurry. Is there a way I can fix this so the image is crisp? (I make cut templates for paper cutting machines and the edges of the png need to be crisp for the file to cut right) Thanks again for your help! (:
