If you engrave photos (I will primarily do birch plywood), how do you prepare the photo for engraving?
Obviously #1 factor is great quality photo to start with and choice of material.
I downloaded the free trial of 1 Touch by ULS and it's really nice to have the simplicity of importing the image and pressing a button to prepare the photo for a variety of materials. It does appear to produce nice results on the few photos I have tested but am hesitant to purchase the software once my trial is expired if I can produce similar results with Corel.
I have also followed the Roy Brewer method in Corel and it also produces decent results (currently trying to optimize his recommended settings for my laser): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0fOknlMKgk
Do those that use PhotoEngrav think it's worth the ~$400? The only price I can find for 1 Touch is $250.
