Just in addition to this - just re-read and saw this by George
'The photo was converted to B&W and dithered using stucki (in corel photopaint)'
just about explains everything!
Thank you. I will send you a different, better picture. I picked that one as a starting point to see what I could engrave. Guess I picked wrong.
Not sure what you are referring to by your last line above. If you mean corel photopaint does not do a good enough job at converting a photo for engraving, I am not adverse to buying photograv if that is what I need.
Or do you mean that I used corel incorrectly with the conversion that I did, if so, what should I have done differently?
Thanks
George
