I've been experimenting with photo engraving. I'm still not quite sure I've got the process down. Some just haven't turned out well at all. I've almost determined that the source photo itself plays a large part in how well it will engrave. I tried ULS 1 touch and wasn't thrilled with the results. With the photo below I used the Gold Method that has been detailed and discussed here in many posts. What I'm still having a hard time with is the resolution. It seems like LaserCut simply expects the photo at 300 dpi. If I size a photo to 4x6 at 300 dpi and import it to LC then it imports as 4x6. If I size a photo to 4x6 at 600 dpi then it imports into LC at 8x12. I'm using Photoshop to do the sizing and I'm resampling so it should be correct. In any event, the photo below is done at 300 dpi and 4"x6". I did it on both marble and acrylic. Came out well on both I think.
