Hi, I am new to inkscape. I am trying to modify an image which I vectorized from a photo imported into inkscape (see attachment)
What I'd like to do is to bend the shape of the image so that the stem of the leaf is not straight. What is the best and fastest way to do this. I tried to manipulate the single points that constitute the border of the image but it doesn't seem easy to obtain the result that I want to see using this method. The ideal would be to have a way to select the whole image and have ways to bend it in some points as a whole piece, not just the line in proximity ofthe point being manipulated. I am not sure if this is clear enough, if not please let me know and I'll try to reformulate the question or provide examples of what I want to obtain.

I'd try the Bend path effect.
If you don't mind I'll link this part from the Inkscape manual:

Thanks so much to you both! It seems really easy to do!
