I have searched the forums and read numerous threads on processing photos to engrave on black granite, but the hitch in my getty up is that I'm using Photoshop/Illustrator and not Corel. I've got too much money invested in the Adobe products to dump them even though I know that Corel would probably be better for my laser applications. My main trade is graphic design and I utilize Adobe products for that work. I've seen several people mention choosing "Javis", "Floyd-Steinberg" or "Stucki" dithering process and I don't have those options within either of my programs. My photos just aren't looking great at all. At least not close to what I'm seeing people have posted online in several different forums. I have a 45w laser that I've gotten great results on other mediums, just not granite. I'm using the Absolute Black granite from Lowes which seems to be great on text/clipart. I've only had my laser since October, but am getting better everyday with practice, this granite just has me pulling my hair out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you can point me to videos/tutorials that would be great as well. I've looked at several already that were mentioned in other posts, but those are mainly for Corel.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!!!
