The Gold Method

[George M. Perzel]

Hi Gang;
OK- here's a comparison, as before, of Photgrav and the Gold method with Griffith mods-all on cherry. Both look acceptable with PG a little lighter as before and a bit more detail.
The second pic is a larger (8x10) image done with Photograv-also on cherry. Hope this helps, Ray no bigger cherry blanks currently available here.

Okay, I'm hiring George to come teach me how to use Photograv. I've got a stack of junk way too high from trying to figure it out from scratch and I've never once had a result look anything remotely close to that.

Great work George. I'm glad someone can do Photographs. I certainly can't.

Well they both look but the photograv still looks the best. I guess you just have to play with it to make them look the same. I think that both would be accepted by a client. I don't have photoshop nor photograv but thinking of buying photograv. Is there much of a learning curve in photograv?

Ok Well I have finally found the script for the gold method. I also found the executable. BUT I like so many do not have photoshop. Has anyone ever finished the conversion to photopaint or corel draw?

Thank you for any help

Totally agree

Be aware this is an almost 7 year old thread

Roy,

I may give this a go. I did a little bit of CDR scripting a few months back, and it wasn't too difficult.

I found the original thread here: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthre...434#post513434, and worked through the steps manually in CDR & CPP, easy enough. Think it can transition to code assuming everything used is in the VBA API.

If I make any headway, I'll likely start a new thread and will be looking for a tester or two with newer versions of CDR. I have 12 to play nicely with LaserCut 5.3's CDR plugin, with no plans to upgrade.

Additionally, I'd probably look for some to test lasering output using various options. I think my 5+-year old tube is on its last legs and likely won't replace it until next spring; I tried to do some stuff a couple weeks ago and my power is way down.

Hi Roy, thank you. I am happy to do the laser testing and so on. Must be the name Roy. Step up and give it go. I will be very thankful for the effort.
