Just to mention it in case you haven't already found out: There is a
save As in gimp where you can save a bitmap to a .il file and load
that one into virutoso. You have to compile the CIF module for gimp so
you need a working gcc environment.

It is a fairly easy way to get company logos onto metal. A little
experimenting is nescessary but the result is really good.

 

There's also a utility in the "turbo toolbox" (now included with Virtuoso Layout
Editor) - see the documentation for the turbo toolbox.
