Hi folks.

Creating Tiled clones isn't what I usually use Inkscape for, but today I'm trying to explore the new features a little more.

So I was following this tutorial by "Logos by Nick": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wicclow8LFA

The problem: Even If I do the steps exactly like in the video, I still ending up having only black clones - same as if the "Trace the drawing ..." option was not selected (i.e. it seems like Inkscape is just ignoring the "Trace the drawing ..." option.

I haven't done anything different to the video tutorial - and I wonder if the issue can be related to other factors such as:

• Being picky on jpg source image - I tested with a crispy jpg image of myself taken from webcam, and then cropped and saved as new jpg file.
• Use Fedora Linux (Cinnamon) instead of what the masses are using (windows/mac).

Worth mentioning that the other options under the Trace tab does seemingly work. I tested and both Presence, Size and Opacity does work.

Is there a known bug on this ?

[edit]

It wasn't the jpg file, I just made a new document from scratch and made a simle square with gradient - also that did not work when using same options.

I upload this svg file.

Thank you very much, Tyler. Problem solved :)
