Using Eagle cad. Paid for license. This is a very potent piece of software. For professional use.
Yes, for hobby application KiCad is fine. The are a couple of free cad software available on the

Gerard, it appears it is possible to import a PCB image into KiCAD and use it to create a new layout by using Bitmap2Component tool.? I haven't done it myself but here is a thread that discusses it:
