select the image and click image/monochrome.  Then click vectorize.  It will leave the original bitmap along with the vectorized version.  Delete the bitmap.

that message"image contains bitmap" means you didnt delete the original bitmap after vectorizing.  It will still cut the image, just ckick ok. and then cut

vectorizing doesn't necessarily "fix" the original image.  If the image is rough to begin with, It will need to be worked on after you vectorize.  If you have a nice large clean image, chances are it will vectorize nicely and you wont need to work on it.

If you post the original image, we probably can steer you in the right path to help
