    In the attached image, nothing seems to work. Here's what I've tried:

    - Ungroup - but I can't ungroup any further (see image attached)

    - Can't change fill since something seems on top of it, tho I see only 1 layer

    - Object, Break Apart

    - Apply bitmap

    - Filter, Colors, Fade to black and white

    Thanks in advance for suggestions.

    This SVG is just a cluster of raster graphics:

    Not sure what you want to do with it.

    So helpful! I'm trying to create a line drawing of this without the colors. How did you get the separate images to show on the right? Is that the layers view? And what is that you are clicking below the image after you click, View, Display Mode, Outline?

    The attached image is another example. I'm trying to convert this to just black and white or to look like a line drawing, eg white fill and thin black outlines. Still struggling. Here's what I tried on this image:

    - change fill to white and stroke to black. This didn't work because the strokes are of different types. I'm a beginner, so not sure how to handle this.

    - trace bitmap - had absolutely no effect, even tho I had entire image/s selected

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions,

    Kelly

    1. "Objects" from the main menu and yes - "Outline" view - just to make sure there's no hidden vector data.

    2. I'd try GIMP on this. It can make SVG out of every pixel selection; in essence you're selecting/searching for colors or continuous shapes - selection to Path - find Path Tab and export as xyz.svg. In Inkscape you can then adjust stroke width and color fill etc.

    Thanks, I will see about learning GIMP. In the meantime, how do I show objects? See attached. I can only show one at a time.

    No - you can increase the size of that window. Hover with the mouse over the horizontally borders till the cursor turns into a doubled arrow - then click&drag downwards.

    I couldn´t check your last file and thought it´s a raster graphic consortium like the first one.

    This one is easy: select everything and give it a white fill color and a black stroke (width about 0,6):

    So no need to go to GIMP.
