I have a head shot photograph[1] I reduce the color plaette down to 8 colors I create 8 layers, 1 layer for each color
Can I trace each layer individually?

Have you tried the multiple scans "colors" option? If so, in what way does this fail to give the desired result?
Hello all,
I had to make a world map that shows the sites of my employer. I downloaded and modified the following file (thanks to the wikipedia): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:BlankMap-World6.svg
I changed it to this, using Inkscape: d:\kepek\WorldMap\SemilabWorldMap2c.svg Now we would like to send it to the company who will print it to a poster. They asked for eps or tiff. (One would think that svg is supported by professionals, but it is not. I tried to open it with Corel X3, but it messed all the arrows: disaster.)
Ok, I felt safe, Inkscape has eps as saving format, anyway it is used in the open source world usually, so let's try... After a minute or so, I get the following error message: File D:\kepek\WorldMap\SemilabWorldMap2c.eps could not be saved.
I tried to turn the original BlankMap-World6.svg to eps, it works fine. I used the same settings for both:
What can be the problem? I have WinXP SP3, Inkscape 0.48.
Thank you in advance for any help.
Abel
ps. Despite I had bad experiences with Inkscape exporting to raster format (positioning and coloring problems), I finally managed to save the results to tiff with Gimp. But if the resolution is kept good enough, the file is too big, and I would prefer keeping the graphics in vector format, if possible.

Sorry, I forgot to upload it last time. So, if someone is interested, it can be downloaded from here: https://www.semilab.hu/fileshare/download.php?file=4e0ad70330c865.27901352/S...

I found a solution in the meantime: decreased the size of the svg. I mean the page size, and the size of the drawing in mm units. Of course the file size remained the same. I don't know why eps export has limitations of the page size, but now that the page and drawing width is only 685 mm, instead of the original 2740, the drawing was exported to eps without problem, and the result looks the same as the svg in inkscape.
However, I am not fully satisfied, as the svg file is just 1.6 Mb (already quite big), the tif is 1.8 Mb (still bearable, but not vector), but the resulting eps is 4.5 Mb. Is this an unavoidable drawback of eps, or a weakness of eps export of Inkscape, or do I do something wrong?
Thanks, Abel
