Postscript Fill and Raised letter lasering

[George Beck]

Hi Everyone

I have been away a bit. Illness and the death of my father have kept me away from my work, other than the usual day to day stuff. I am back and I have been doing some raised letter plaques. I thought about using the postscript or texture fill as background instead of just raised lettering. So anyway, I discovered this little piece of cherry with little clusters of knots. This look to me like little galaxies and swirling nebula clouds. So here is a plaque I call "Star Dust". My further adventures into using wood grain as a canvas.

Thanks for the post! I do quite a bit of reverse engraving and for some reason never though of a postscript back ground.

Condolences on your loss.

I am a fan of post script fills and use them as often as I can. Like you, almost always for wood.

George, my condolences on your loss.

Some great info. here. While I have done some of this type of work I never thought of using a post script fill either.

sorry for your loss George.
i like the look. got a question though. i made a square and added a postscript fill. basketweave, but in the box it shows a bunch of PS instead of the pattern??? am i missing something.
thanks chad

Make sure your view is enhanced or enhanced with overprints. Draft view or normal will show "PS". Wireframe view will show nothing.

thanks george, worked just fine. thanks makes me ask this question, is there a "best" view to always work in. should i always use the enhanced view, or only when i use postscript????
thanks

I always use enhanced.

[John Salitsky]

I second that! I always use enhanced view as well.
