You would need to trace the JPG images to convert them to vector representations before cutting with them. SVG will allow bitmaps, but you can't cut from bitmaps (you have to have vector art). Are you tracing the images first?lindsay wrote:I'm really new to SCAL and Inkscape, but it's driving me crazy, because several of the jpg designs that I load into inkscape, and save as a svg (I am sure I'm doing this step right, as it works about half of the time) then load into sure cuts a lot about half of the time the image is totally skewed. Sometimes totally unregonizable. When I save it in Inkscape it looks totally normal, but then when I import it in to scal it's distorted. Even a simple jpg file that contained only text did not seem to be compatible. I've searched the forums and am surprised I seem to be the only one having this problem because it happens with so many of the designs I try to convert. Any help would be great! Is Illustrator easier to use than Inkscape?
