Hi Kermetta,
That watermark across the image is there to remind you that this is a copyrighted image and to make it difficult to convert. Perhaps you can purchase the vector at the site where you got this image.

Hi I just ran that picture through Vector Magic, an on line Vector converter http://vectormagic.com/home, and it did a good job of converting it to svg.
It does however need a bit of work because of the copyright watermark. They tend to chop up the image, ie it is doing its job.
However if you know how to use inkscape you should have no problems cleaning up the converted svg file.
Although the official line is you should purchase any copy righted images ;)

Cheers

Craig

I was going to try this, but it would take hours. The svg you have is really choppy looking in draw, and it would cut that wya. It would take forever to try and make it look right. So then I opened the bpm. and that water mark is a good one. It would take a long time to convert the areas of the water mark to what they should be before you could trace. I think you would be better off buying the image, or finding a different one. good luck.
