can someone with photograv process a photo for me?

We are experimenting with etching a photo on a mirror at school, and we've done 4 now with different settings and processing on the photo, and it's came out good in certain ways but I'd like to get a comparison against what photograv puts out

I"d like to email the photo to someone, you run it through photograv, then email it back to me so I can run it through our cutter.

anyone willing to help?

Frank is a good guy, always willing to help people out, and when he makes a bet will always pay up, even if it means eating a hat.:eek:

I have been experimenting on photograv,
yet not acheived perfectness.

Can anyone process single photo for me to engrave on acrylic and glow it with edgelit.

Try this one which I posted for granite - the file is the same as it needs to be negative on clear acrylic

Sorry Sunil it's already in Corel Draw. You could export it from there as a bmp I guess

Never save as a .jpg.. A .jpg is a 24bit colour file by default. (even though it 'looks' black and white it ain't) For it to engrave right, it must be saved (exported) as a black and white 'mono' or 2 bit file.. it can be .bmp, or .tif it matters not..

What's photograv?

Tony,
Photograv is a specialty software which processes .bmp images into an image which is specifically designed for laser engraving.

I would not be without it.
