Another helpful tip: If you happen to have a PDF version of the image, Inkscape can convert it to SVG with a single simple command-line call. On OS X:

Code:

/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/script --without-gui foo.pdf --export-plain-svg=foo.svg

The command is slightly different on other platforms, I think.
