Just wondering if there was a trial version of photograv out there. I am very new to laser engraving and would like to try it out before I invest more money.

George, I don't know of any trial. For the cost, I'm not impressed. Some drivers, such as Epilog will come real close to Photograv quality. Yes there is a difference, but I'd challenge the untrained eye to see it (without the aid of magnification). If there had been a trial use, I would never had paid for it. Having said that I do use Photograv, but very seldom - For every 100 jobs I might use it once or twice.
As you'll see here there is no software that will make a poor photo produce well - garbage in - garbage out

Don't no what laser you have, but if it's Universal I heard rumor of a new driver release that will incorporate photo options in the near future.
