crashes when inporting pictures

Hi Edward,

can you test if it works when you downscale the picture before import? It's > 50 Mb /3.840px × 4.800px, and I think there are known issues concerning large images.

Which version of Inkscape have you installed? 32bit or 64bit?

If neither switching the version, nor downscaling help, it might be a new issue.
This is the list for issues that have to do with crashes on import:

It's a bit long... But maybe you can find something that applies to your situation?

Kind Regards,

Inkscape .92.1 x64

It didn't crash when downsizing to 1/2 original size and converting to jpeg.
I don't need much detail as I was going to use the autotrace feature described in the manual.
However, I can't find the autotrace icon as described in the manual.
