Hi Inkscape sifus.

I'm trying to cut a picture of a boy, his hair is a little messy, strands of hair everywhere.

How do you cut the picture together with individual strands of hair? Is there a faster method than to individually draw with bezier tool?

Currently I just made a nice rounded shape on top of his head but it looks fake when printed on a big banner.

Help?

hair like this...



i want to cut the picture out to be used on another background.

easiest way is to just cut his head round shape, leave all the standing hair out. but this way it looks very fake.

which one in Inkscape is smudge tool?

i cut it with GIMP, saved it as PNG with transparency, then opened the PNG file with Inkscape, but it only changed the background to white, it still needs to be cut out, right? or was i doing it wrong?
