Hi Pranav, That would be true of a from-scratch SVG that's truly a vector graphic, but I don't think it would be true for an SVG'ized JPG that's basically an SVG wrapper around a JPG bitmap. I think you mentioned earlier in this thread that your photos are over a megabyte in size. That should scale pretty well on everything but the biggest screens. You never mentioned whether these will be used in a website, a PDF document, an EPUB book, or something else. Where will they be used?

The reason I am converting to SVG is that if I understand things correctly, it will scale better on a variety of devices and screen sizes.

The usual way is to use the 'Trace Bitmap' functionality on an imported jpg and then removing the reference to the jpg.PL] Thanks for your response. The original image is a Jpeg file which I am opening in inkscape.If your images are photos, then SVG probably is not the right format for them, the result will be huge and at a bad quality. If the images are drawings, then the best is to trace and then manually adjust the result (or even redraw them - a manual trace). -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Better than sec?

The image is a SVG file, all vector, but "I" made
it, a human. No trace program today can trace a photograph
and do it
to vector with this quality.
Vektor for webb is mostly
logotypes, illustrations that have few colors. Trace
photographs to
vector can bee a expression, a manner. But they have few
colors, like
two or a few more,
but not 16,7
million colors as a bitmap can have. If
you for example set the trace program to 6 million colors
(I don't
think it's possible) then you have SVG file with so much
code, it's
humungous, and for the web browser to read the code, and
download it
take time, a lot of time.
