I had planned on doing some photo engravings today. I’m pretty sure that my phone can read my mind. I’m looking forward to experimenting with Gimp. Thanks for the tips.
Hello! I would like to thank you for this video. It was exactly what I needed. Your explanation was clear and to the point. Thanks! I was able to engrave my image and it was perfect!
I had to do a little adjusting once I got my photo into Lightburn but these are some of the nicest, clearest photos I have made. I’m sure every photo takes a different sort of tweaking but I’m looking forward to trying some more using Gimp. Thanks again.
No laser program is being used with this. We have Epilog Helix/Mini systems at my school and I will print them directly from Adobe Reader, Illustrator, even Microsoft Word. Although, I don't print directly from Inkscape because there is some kind glitch that won't work correctly. So I will design whatever I want in Inkscape, save as a .pdf and the open in Adobe Reader and print it from there.
It depends on the picture and how you set it up. It takes a lot of troubleshooting to get it right. To say "it does not work" is a fallacy and very negative. You have to play around with your settings. I will go through a few scraps of wood before I find the setting that gives me a satisfactory engraving before I make a final engrave. But this is NOT the "only" way you can setup an image for engraving. This is just one way that I have been successful with. Thank you for the feedback anyway.

Thank you. Hope it works out for you. :)
Would you do the same thing if you wanted to print on metal. ( gold, silver, brass). I'm trying on a Orotig 20w RR Writer.
I do not know. The engraver I use doesn't do metal. Epilog Helix. It would be worth a try. If you are try please share. I would love to know.
Nice. Tried with photshop the same, but the picture its not ok on wood. Will try some other tutorials too. :)
Yeah, a lot of times it depends on the picture and the right settings.
hello ,thanks for this clear video ; is it for a diode laser also ?
I am not sure about that.
ok thanks I am going to try @@Tfill27productions
Is there a way to add color to the engraving?
What laser program are you using
