Photo on glass and granite

[lisa farrell]

Hi Creekers, I have a small problem. I engraved a photo on glass and granite inverted, and got the white background although i did everything i think that should be done to remove it before lasering. I also lasered it without inverting and the background was not present, just the head.as i wanted it when inverted. Can anyone tell me what I am missing? Thanks Robert PS I inverted in corel x3 before printing and also inverted in printer driver only same result.

Lisa can you post the image it will help us out a little more with the problem

Lisa certain programs will not show the colour the removed background is. It's called the transparency layer, with some it is white, with others it is black. You need to check your options to see what yours defaults to.

Lisa,

When you look at the image before you invert, does the area around the head appear black or white? It should be black. If it's white, it will invert to black and print as such.

hi these are the pics (1) on black granite (2) lasertile
(3)galss inverted (4)glass not inverted .the glass was just a test no particular setting just testing new to me rotary attachment.

Lisa, you need to remove that background. It's as Frank said, the background is white, it needs to be transparent. There's a huge difference in a white background and a transparent one.

You are also going to get a fair amount of distortion on the glass because of its () shape.

I had saved it from photo-paint with no back ground. When the pic was placed in coreldraw all i saw was the face and the 4 nodes around it. I can't remember if there was a black background when it was inverted but as the results shows there was one how do i correct this thanks agaiin
