Problem editing SVG file with picture as background

LightBurn Software Questions

Hello, this is probably a question that’s already been asked, but despite my searches, I haven’t found an answer.

Here’s my problem: I generated an SVG file from an image using a Python script. The scipt generates a set of polygons which tries to roughly follow the shapes and colors of the image, but since it’s far from perfect, I need to finalize the tracing in LightBurn before cutting.

So, I imported my image and SVG file into LightBurn, but every time I want to edit a polygon, I have to hide the image if I want to select it. I tried locking the image, but that doesn’t work.

I would probably be able to do it in Inkscape, but I don’t want to learn a new tool and being so used to the LightBurn editor that I’d prefer to use it.

Thanks for reading!

PS: I’d be happy to give you my setup, but I don’t think it will change the solution :wink:

your problem file itself will be more useful for troubleshooting.
