Just wanted to show a tile I did recently that landed me a lot more work. Black marble 12x12 on a 30watt Explorer, 100 power and 23 speed , used photoshop, photograv, corel draw.

Thanks
Tom

Tom, that looks awesome, absolutely beautiful. Wish I could get the hang of black marble or granite but don't seem to be able to. Your work looks great.

That looks awesome. Is that a picture (the 6 men in uniform) run through Photograv?

Thanks everyone , I thought it came out very well and as mentioned this one tile has got me a lot of new business. Yes James that was a JPG image , changed to a grey scale and saved as an 8 bit bitmap, then run through photograv.

Very nice job preparing the photo - did you use 300 or 400 dpi? The figures are so dimensional, great depth! Is it the choice of marble that really adds to the contrast, or did you add some paint? I have not braved it yet, but I did buy a few tiles to try, inspired by Creekers like you!

Thanks for posting your settings, dee

That came out really nice. I would think that the settings are way too high, but apparently not.
