    Hi All, Would love some help to ungroup the 3 shapes so I can laser engrave them separately. Been at this for nearly 2 hours. I'm able to get the bean like shapes ungrouped but cant get the solid and non solid rounds to ungroup.

    I´m not sure what you mean with ungroup here; Path->Break Apart probably? I´m confused. Check what you have selected at the Status-bar.

    If a shape is in a .png file then it is not something you can ungroup, because it is not a shape as such but simply a raster of pixels.

    You can only ungroup something in a vector file format.

    The best thing you can do is to trace the outline of your shapes to get a vector path representing your shape. If the shapes overlap then you have to "make up" the part of your shape that is obscured by another shape.
