    I have Inkscape, but have never used it because I’m just not sure what to do with it. Thanks for the great tutorial!

    Amazing, Kay!!! I have tried using Paintbucket, expecting it to be like Paint or Photoshop, and ended up going away frustrated. Now I know what an amazing tool it is, I will be using it all the time. Thanks SO MUCH!

    Kay, You ROCK!! I think this will REALLY help get better SVG files than just using trace.

    Thanks so much for this! I thought I didn’t need inkscape as I can do almost anything I want in Photoshop and/or SCAL already, but this is dead useful and I will go and get inkscape now!
    Thanks for your very informative blog!!
