Is it possible to cut out a section of an imported image, as opposed to using Clip?

I'm using a lot of images in the process of drafting a SailGP F50 catamaran, and it would be useful to cut out a small detail I'm interested in from a large image, rather than retaining the full image and using Clip.

There is a crop extension for images, but I would highly recommend using Gimp. The combination of Gimp and Inkscape is very powerful, particularly when using linked images.

Thanks Tyler, will take your advice.

Cheers, Max

Go after Clip=Set to: Edit->Make Bitmap Copy. There you have it. ;-) plus the original image will stay alive.

^^This is legit too. Check that the copy bitmap settings are adequate resolution in the Preferences.

@PixelPest   Would you mind explaining how you do the "Clip=Set to: Edit->Make Bitmap Copy" ?

That sounds like it would suffice for what I do,  but I can't find anything like this in Preferences?

Hi Max.

It's not in the preferences; First make Object->Clip->Set then as I said go Edit->Make a Bitmap Copy:

Great, got it now, thank you!   Still have a lot to learn.  🙂

Welcome aboard. ;-)

Thanks, I'm really enjoying Inkscape, quite awesome for the design/drafting sort of thing I like doing.
