One of my customers emailed me some artwork in .jpg format just as I asked him to, but the file is pixilated. Is there any way I can still use it or do I need him to send me another format? I am unsure how to explain to him what it is that I need. I would be willing to email you the attachment if you could show me how to open it and use it in Omega 2.0. Thanks for any help!

Are you planning to Edge print it? If so Omega will import it just fine and you can Edge print it. Otherwise, it is useless for anything in vinyl cutting as it is a bitmap image and not a vector file.
If you are planning to Edge print it, then import into Omega, select it and hit Shift +1 to bring up the image fill dialog. Once open, check to see that the thumbnail resolution is set to 24 bit. Click okay and see if the image still looks grainy.

You will need an eps format vectorized.

Omega and every other application out there requires vector paths to drive a plotter. Omega and every other applicaton out there do not do an adequate job of converting raster to vector when the file is low resolution, which is typical of a JPG. JPG files are raster bitmaps and do not contain any vectors.

Not to confuse everyone but JPG, TIFF and PSD image files can contain vector data but it is rarely seen. Within Photoshop you can create "paths", clipping, stroked, etc and they can be saved in the mentioned file formats as vectors. Most apps will not deal with them. Omega 2.5 will and SignLab, I don't know about Flexi.

In the hands of a competent operator with a trained eye, that may be true ... some of the time. In the hands of a newbie who still says WOW! everytime a recognizable image is cut on a plotter ... it's just another reduction in the quality of the signs we all have to look at.
