Clipping a Photo, Trace, Path

Assuming it’s Inkscape, it’s trivial. With your image traced … [image] … draw a box over the area you want to delete … [image] … then shift-click to add your image to your selection, and do Path/Difference: [image] The design will be “cut” along the edge of the box and everything contained within it removed. Works for any shape.

In your case, instead of a box, make the shape a ring with an ID the area you want to keep, and the OD large enough to cover everything you want to delete.
