RE: [Inkscape-user] how to "envelope" or "paste into" a picture

Fill the circle with the picture, that should do the trick.

I tried this the other day, it's nice, but there are a few steps to get it right.

Sorry, talking about Inkscape 0.42.2 and Windows Xp

1. Drop the picture into the document, move it over the object and resize it

so it lines up how you like it

ok, I made a circle and imported a jpg file of my daughter, I need a circle with her face into.

2. Edit -> Object(s) to Pattern (Alt-I)

I need to select the object, the picture or both ?

3. Delete the picture

I tried many times, but it's not possible, it deletes both :-)

4. Select the object, and assign the new Pattern as the fill.

Where is this command ?

Sorry, don't forget me :-))
