    Hi everybody :

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

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

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

    wrong ?  I using version 1.2

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