Well the black mirrors are unusual. Finding the right combination in Photograv to make it 'just right' didn't bode to well with me. I ended up using the method Rodne Gold posted which came up with the best result. At the end of the day these black mirrors are just glass but using the glass.prm supplied by Photograv was just a big joke. Anyway the settings turned out to be almost the same as black granite and the negative positive thing was the same.
Now for my classic mistake. I had originally planned on engraving the below box in a light wood, but the suppliers ending up sending me a dark one by mistake. I went ahead and engraved it as the artwork was completed before they arrived. Although it turned out fine engraving wise, there was something that just didn't seem right and as it turned out, it was the classic mistake. It should have been a negative image. What a bummer!
Live and learn, live and learn.
