#How to use photograv pro#
If you have customer supplied photos that are smaller than the finished engraved size, I use a program called PhotoZoom Pro to increase size or resolution. The cheaper scanners will do 1200, but they use resampling to achieve 1200 dpi. The scanner you use "must be capibable of 1200 or better PURE OPTICAL" scanning. LaserSketch marble will not engrave at over 300 dpi, I contacted them about it and they told me to engrave at 300 dpi or less with their marble. But you need a tile saw to cut them to size.

I hve found some absolute black 12" x 12" floor tiles that work great. Be prepaired for HUGE file sizes.Īnother problem you may have if using marble, is finding marble that can be lasered at 1200 dpi. I use 1200 dpi for dithering and output in Corel to the laser. Adobe Photoshop to convert to bitmap (dithered pattern). PureImage to get me ballpark levels and sharpnessĢ.

I'll scan it at 1200 dpi then use the following software to get the results I'm looking for:ġ. I have them supply me with an 8 1/2 x 11 print of the quality they expect.

I have 3 professional photographers that demand perfection (and are willing to pay for it). But if you want Perfection your not gonna get it from PhotoGrav. I have found PhotoGrav to be alright for "good" or fast and out the door stuff. But I am learning the program and the laser so it might take a little longer.Īny tips on finding those perfect ones? I adjust some in corel and then use photo grave, which I wish had more settings for other materials. It does work good, but some of the photos I see others lasering look perfect! I have not got what I think is that great yet. I have photograv, but still have to play with it so much to try for that great result. Then you must learn how your machine performs with various materials.but that would take another book to get into all the details:)

When it comes to photos, be prepaired to spend some money on software and countless hours learning how to use it. I have had to use 4 or 5 different software packages to achieve a good output. The biggest challenge is to "massage" customer supplied art to get an acceptable lasered output. Their is no such thing as a one size fits all software for photo processing. (I actually prefer this method to PhotoGrav's output)Ī complete book could be written on the various ways of prepairing photos for lasering. But if you have Adobe Photoshop you can get great results by converting your photo to bitmap and selecting the difussion method. Haven't tried it or heard any reviews yet. Just wondering if anyone has tried it and how it works. If you already have Corel 12, the Half-Wiz program is only $49.00. Has anyone tried this? It says it is designed for the creation of halftones sutiable for abrasive ething and laser engraving applications. I also saw some information on the Photo Brasive Half-Wiz program.

You can also purchase it direct at The nice thing about it is that the creators of the software also use it. You're going to love it, it works great. You can get it from Laserbits, it's just about $400. Can anyone tell me where to buy it and give me an idea how much it is?
