I am having no luck converting (what I consider) simple bitmaps to vector shapes so I can import to Xara 3D6. The manual and help files are not very helpful. Regardless of the slider adjustments I end up with a trace that is nowhere near as sharp as the original Bitmap. I would be more than willing to attach the two logos I'd like to convert to an email if any of you are willing to convert to vector and explain how and what you did to accomplish.

Second in this regard: I note that Xtreme Picture Editor is designed for bitmaps. I work with a lot of jpgs from my digital camera. Must I convert the jpg to bmp before opening in Picture Editor?

Thanks for helping this neophyte.
