I think you can only vectorize bmp. you can't vectorize a jpeg.

Yeah,you can vectorize a jpg in inkscape. The secret is to have a high resolution image with good clean lines. Color is hard. I always convert to black and white before I try to vectorize.

Go to google,do an image search for VW bug,see if you can find a better pic.

OR you can do what I did last week...a customer wanted a pic of her boyfriend on the banner. Well,I just printed a nice big pic on photo paper,lightly glued it to the banner,covered over it with CLEAR vinyl,then cut a nice frame from vinyl to go around it,cover up the edges of the clear. She LOVED it... and I must admit,it looked good. This of course wouldn't work for outdoor use if it rains unless you laminate it first (which I have done) but if it's for graduation.most likely it won't be outside for long,if at all.

Of course,if you have a color laser printer,which I don't,you could,in theory,print the pic directly onto white vinyl,etc. I have a friend who does labels this way,to put on the back of his banners.

Just a suggestion. I'm too tired to try vectorizing that pic right now,maybe in the morning if nobody beats me to it.
