Although Inkscape is meant for working with vector graphics, it does have some features and tools that allow you to make common edits to photographs and other rasterized images. And even though you’d be better off using proper photo editing software for this sort of thing, you may find yourself working in a vector environment once in a while and needing to just make a quick edit to an image. In these instances, launching yet another application can be an inconvenience. This is where Inkscape’s photo editing ability comes in handy, and in this video we’ll be going over 8 different ways in which you can edit photos in Inkscape.
