Bitmap to vector

Postby mandania » Thu Jan 22, 2009 1:06 am

Hello there!
I am a new user to inkscape, infact i have been advised to use inkscape for the type of work i do. I am technical writer and most of the time i need to convert my images to vector images for illustration e.g showing how to repair a lawn mower. does anyone know where i can find some good tutorial with examples?

thanks
