Install Inkscape, load your original jpg into inkscape.

Select the image by clicking once on it and then go to Path -> Trace Bitmap.

You can then play with the settings clicking "update" in between changes to get a rough idea of what you will get.

If your image has a ton of colors in it or needs color gradients you should edit your image in GIMP to get it down to the fewest number of colors possible, and the colors used in anti-aliasing can matter to the final product as well.

I attempted to use potrace but part of the image is gone after the

What am I doing wrong?

These are the commands I entered to due the conversion:

  convert watermark3.jpg watermark3.ppm
  potrace -s watermark3.ppm -o watermark3.svg

I looked into the manpage and it seems that you are telling it the *.ppm
is a SVG file but maybe you are telling it you want to convert the ppm
to svg.... I don't know.
