Enjoyed the video which was very well delivered and professional. In my opinion the grey scale image looked the best followed by the Gimp image which surprised me. Thanks for sharing much appreciated.
About the only thing I can suggest from a graphic design stance is when you change dpi, also adjust the image size to match the physical size of the final product... 12"x20"
Interesting video. With a good image like in this example, I agree you don't need to do more than converting to greyscale. When you have a bad photo however, you definitely need to change it with photo editing software to get it acceptable for laser engraving. It would be nice to see this test repeated with a photo that has dark shadows in it.
Not every photo is good for laser engraving regardless. RE3 does do a decent job of interpreting engraving levels right out of the box. No question it can be improved but the law of diminishing returns definitely applies.
I have no clue what im doing wrong. I cant get grayscale on photos. It is just black. No brown. I have tryed adjusting speed and power. Got it to just bearly burn and all is same color
I had great looking photo on imagr..but when previewed it in lightburn .pic was totally whiteout..Im getting so frustrated with using laser.. nothing is working like it does in these videos
I'd like to say I possess some sort of magic, but more likely, the image isn't in a format amenable to Lightburn. Download the image to your local computer and try to open it with an image editor. If it's messed up there then Lightburn won't load it properly either. Also once you bring it into Lightburn you would need to assign it to a layer (the numbered colors along the bottom of the screen). When you pick a layer you will also have to tell Lightburn that it is an image
