    In October 2021 i removed the background in my imported images by going to the menu bar, selecting something that adjusts the color, and removed the background and left the image a full color image.  

    I've forgotten exactly what i did, I can't find the directions/video i used to change my image. I didn't use nodes or any of those bezier tools to remove them.

    I am very new to inkscape. Does the process i described sound familiar? I need help.

    Can someone guide me in the right direction please

    Hi.

    Unfortunately this workflow sounds familiar in GIMP or other bitmap editors - not so much in Inkscape.

    Removing Background though is part of the Path->Trace Bitmap… functionality under "Multiple Scans" - so probably you came across in this regard.

    Hi,

    if you go do File >> Document Properties (or press shift-ctrl-D),you're able to set the desk background color (in the Display tab).. In newer versions you can even distinguish between "the desk" and "the paper"
