"Engraving" an image into an object.

I have an image that I would like to place onto an object in such a way that it looks like it was engraved into the surface. I would like it to actually change the geometry of the surface. Any ideas on how to do it?

    For Iray it would probably best to bake the heightmap for displacement into a normal map - you will almost certainly need to work on the image anyway to get a semi-plausible displacement map, if it isn't already a height map.
