Hi nicu,
the images are phhotos. 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.

Hi Jon, <snip That tells us on how you save the SVG once it had been created, but not how the SVG was originally done.
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).
