    Hi everybody :

    ย  ย  ย  First---I drew a blue square. Then I IMPORTedย  a flower design on top of it (it had a red background).ย  I tried

    going through steps of removing the background (using the bevel tool)ย  When I completely had the flower design

    "surrounded" by the bevel too,ย  The flower design was erased in the color or the blue square..ย  What am I doing

    wrong ?ย  I using version 1.2

    I guess the easiest way is to open the image in Gimp - add an alpha channel in the Layers panelย - then select the red color and delete. Export as PNG - import into Inkscape for you additional design tasks.
