I need to extract vector paths from Photoshop into SVG format (or anything else Inkscape can use).

I don't have Illustrator, and buying it just to convert file formats seems silly.

So how can I get paths out of Photoshop into SVG?

If needed, I could write some code to manipulate files directly, but I'm not even sure where to begin to get the paths out.

GIMP can do this. Open the .psd and go to the paths tab, there right click on any path and there is an export option.

EDIT:

This tutorial seems to work, it's for Mac but you can probably replace the intermediate steps for Win.



I haven't try them myself, but these are some resources that might help you:


SVG Kit 2.0.1 for Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Photoshop Elements - Fully functional free trial
SVG Import/Export Converter 1.6.7 - Doesn't specify PSD, but it seems free and open so worth a try.
There is also a Github project called psd.js, but apparently it has been "transferred" to twitpic. The zip file is here.
And this Image Converter seems tp have PSD and SVG in the list.


If any of them help or you find an alternative way, post it for future reference :)
