No, I have the opposite problem, a floor plan in jpg format that I'd like to modify in QCAD, which works in dxf (drawing interchange program).

[newbie] Image Conversion
Does anyone out there know of any programme that can convert black and white image files to colour.Some years ago I read somewhere that a technology using computer software had been invented that could do this. I know colour can be converted to B&W in gimp , but I am talking about colourising B&W pictures. John -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
