Take you through every step of laser engraving a black granite tile. From prepping the picture in Photoshop. Using lightburn, laser engraving and then filling with acrylic paint.
Wow like your tutorial! Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate your trade. I am looking to get into memorial engraving. I've been looking at the AP LASERS. But fifty-grand seems like a lot to invest. Do you have any manufacturers you prefer?
Nice Video. Just a quick tip after you finished the photo processing convert the image into a smart object and then resize the image. By doing this, it keeps the pixels from deforming and allows you to resize the image with a much better quality.
Not sure if anyone cares but if you're stoned like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all of the new movies on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my brother for the last couple of days =)
I found on my chinesejunk laser, that if I want center accuracy, I use 67lb paper and put a few magnets on it. Set my image in Lightburn by making a shape that my material will fit into. Set the shape to cut line. Delete the output for the shape. Remove the cutout and use the paper on the bed to place the material to laser. I make lots of round coasters and this is the way I keep things consistant.
To fix the quality of the portraits I suggest to use a graphical tool that automatically improves the quality. On my channel I show a demo with the tool usage. It will be much appreciated if you check out the tool. Thanks a lot! (link to the tool in the channel)
