An SVG image can contain several different types of standard Web format raster images. The image is referenced with an <image xlink:href=""> tag. And, since SVG supports ICC color spaces, JPEG images with embedded profiles will retain their original color palettes and provide precise, calibrated colors.

You can also combine SVGs with JPEGs and GIFs as background images (as you saw in the previous lesson's demo). With CSS, you can also specify a clipping path, and include a JPEG or GIF image within a vector path. For example, the following image uses the text outline as a clipping path, allowing the JPEG image to "show through" the text.
