Inkscape Tutorial - remove background from an image

Remove a background from an image in Inkscape

Brilliant and simple, thanks. I could have missed it but I didn't see you mention to click both frames which is why initially this didn't work for me. None the less you cleared it up in comments below. Good job.

I followed everything up until the "Select Object Tool" directions. I have traced what I want to keep, now how do I make the back ground disappear again? Thank you for your help

Never thought about this, so simple! and effective! Thank you!

At :53 tracing image does online it but it does not put the extra dotted line in a square around it. So Object > Clip > Set does nothing. How can I get the dotted line to appear?

Wow wow wow. I just watched Troy Tube demonstrate: Background Burner, Clipping Magic, Pixlr & Photoshop. There is no comparison to how good this is.

My friend, i do exactly what you show at the video, but for some reason when i clic "clip->set" nothing happens. do you know why is that happening?

there should be an easier way... the shapes could be automatically traced... the human is not enough precise and we don't have time to do it....
