Welcome to the Inkscape Master Series, a series of lessons for those of you who are looking for more advanced Inkscape tutorials. In each lesson of the series, we'll cover a specific topic in a lot of detail, then we'll apply what we learned by creating a sample project.
In this lesson, we'll learn all about the Trace Bitmap Dialog and how we can use it to turn an image into a logo and add texture to our artwork.
