File format help. I am sooooo green it is embarrassing.

File format help. I am sooooo green it is embarrassing. The shapes I want to cut out of fabric are currently in JPG format. Do I need to convert them using Inkscape ? What format should I save then in to be able to cut them ?

What I do is open the file in Corel Draw 12 (came on the CD) then save the file as an EMF (Enhanced Windows Metafile) and then you can import it into the LaserDRW program.

I will give that a try. Thanks.
