You definitly need to change the picture to greyscale. I use photograv to process my photos so I am not positive how to do it otherwise. I do think you have to invert it but am not sure. Try it on a...
Awesome work!!! What type of wood did you use? How did you get it 3D without making the wood look brown where it lasered?
Just wondering

I also have a LaserPro Mercury 30W. I love it. It will serve you well. As far as training goes, you will have to learn your software. I use Corel and went to a school in Texas for training. It was...

I tried to fix it for you, and it doesn't work for me either. I would ask for another photo. I tried the tone curve and the rest of the miracle workers and nothing I did lightened it enough to see...
Keith, They are gorgeous!!! Did you paint the eagles? They look it, but not sure. What about the brown? Did you varnish over everything when you were done?
If so, what type of varnish did you use?...

I used to cut the marble also, and then I would sand them with many different sanding pads until it was smooth, I also did the bevel, but it's not easy.
It does work though. I also did a bevel on...
On occasion, my head seems to get stuck on the home position side, and the display screen says it's jammed and to call a tecnichian. I just shut it down and restart and that seems to fix it.

N & R Might have them.
I engrave on both wine and liquor bottles all the time, and have never had a problem. I sell the liquor bottles to brides and grooms for their groomsmen. Nothing happens to the contents. They make...
Hi,
I paint them with water base oil paints. They come out nice, but you have to do it a few times to make it show well.

I just went to a business meeting today, and the subject was how to present yourself, and the way you speak to people.
The thing that stood out for me, was his quote "we have two ears, and one...
I run every new job on a piece of copy paper taped down. If it's something I have never done, I draw the outside with a pen and run it at 100 Speed 32 Power on a 30W laser. If it looks centered and...
Russ,
I just saw a post on world of engraving and this guy bought tiles from Home Depot and some were white and some were black,
he then spraypainted the white ones with black Krylon paint and did...
Hi Barbara,
take a look under acrylics on my website and see if that is what you have in mind for an angel photo. If you like it, I will look for it and send it to you.

I started off in my husbands shop behind the house. Then we moved to a storefront. It is 600 sq ft. and on a main street. Business has been good here, and hoping for a great Christmas season.

Thanks I am going to try that one out. I do not have internet access on the computer that runs my laser. I am afraid of virus.
I hope that works.
Thanks again.
Ha,
I couldn't unzip them. I do not have zip on my other computer and it isn't setup for internet, so I can't get it.
Oh well.
Thanks anyway.
Thank you so much for this idea. I made a couple for my grandsons and showed them to someone and he order 10 of them.
Thank you again.
