PA Greetings: Since JPEG is a raster file format and Gerber
is a vector format, there is no way to convert directly from JPEG to
Gerber. The best you can hope to do is import the JPEG file as
a full-size background image in your PCB layout software over which
you generate a new layout, and then create a new Gerber file. It's kind
of clunky, but should be do-able for a simple layout. - Kirt

Fri Oct 01, 2004 1:09 pm I have been looking at various software
to produce my own gerber files but nearly all the software is in encoded
so that I would have to get the same company to produce the boards.
I would prefer a local company to produce the boards for me. Also you
refer to a software that can load a full-size background image ??? please
can you let me know what software is right for me. The finished board
is only 40mm x 25mm Posted
