And once you've done that you can open Inkscape and use the "Trace
Bitmap" feature to turn it into a vector file if that is what you
need.
Or skip GIMP completely, load the original bitmap in inkscape and
manually (or maybe automatically) trace what you want. I have done
something like that before. It's a lot easier if you have a graphic
tablet or screen pen of course.
