Thank you Bob,
With a few exceptions regarding how the loading process works, this loaded into x6 well. I have it loaded into photo pant x6 and it is working. I still have some learning to do around when to use positive and when to use negative, and at what dpi; between your macro and the Gold Method, I think I will have success. My goal is to engrave photos on wine bottles that are then made into lamps.
spoonDancin copy.jpgThis is one i used your macro on. I used cutout lab and cut just my friend and me out . then i used the macro to prepare it for engraving. The wine bottle is dark green so I think the positive is best, and I used 600 dpi. I will post the outcome. My friend uses a diamond bit to drill a hole in the bottom of the bottle then stuffs the bottle full of mini christmas lights. then using a small lamp assembly puts a small light on top. When plugged it it looks cool. I think the engraved photo will add a different dynamic.

Still looking to see if it works with x5. Oh boy. I just downloaded the instructions for this and its miles over my head.Creating directories and the like. Fact is I never used a macro and really have no idea what they are or how they work. I just thought this would make prepping a photo easier but its beyond me

Bert this is not that hard once you get beyond the "beyond me" hang up. Would a step by step instruction help? I won't go through the process if you do not with to do it. The macro makes prepping automatic and it works. let me (us) know.

Roy I'd love to learn how to do it all but first we need to know if it works with x5. I've never used a macro and really don't know what they are or do . so its like starting fro scratch. If this program works wiyth x5 then I certainly would like to lern how to make it all work. Thanks

I've installed the macro in Corel Photopaint X5 and my initial problems were related to the file/folder structure of X5 being somewhat different than what was referred to in the instructions for installing into later versions of Corel. Once I got everything figured out and installed in the correct place, I tried to run the macro and got this error:
Compile Error in Hidden Module modWinAPi
My system specs:

Corel X5 is installed under Programs X86

I predict it will run in x5. it runs in x6 very well. there is not much difference regarding macro design betwixt the two, or any for that matter. Design changes typically are in other dimensions than script language. I recognize that I am not a programmer or PC pro. I do have some experience in loading scripts.

I know that many of you have downloaded the macro I created and several of you have commented that you are using the macro for processing your photos. I am working on a new releast that will fix a couple of minor bugs that I found and would like to fix any that you may have come across. If you have any issues that you would like to see me fix in the next release please post them here. I am also looking for any settings files that you have created and are willing to share. If you are willing to share one or more of your settings files for inclusion in the next release then please send them to my email at bob(a)laserengravinginfo.com.
Thanks for the macro Bob. It's funny I ran across this post today as I've really been researching doing photos in the last few days and had found that unless you had Photograv, they just looked like crap. I've downloaded this macro and will install today and see how it works. I'm using X7, so can't wait! Thanks again!

What a genuinely decent guy ! I don't do hardly any engraving but to post something so useful for free says a lot about you Bob.
Top man
cheers

You did what !
Mike were you able to get the macro to run in your version of X5 ?
If you did, then I probably did something wrong trying to get it installed.
If you didn't, then perhaps it's just not compatible with X5.
Anyone else with X5 get this macro working?

I've just downloaded and installed this macro, had a quick play, and will run an image on a stainless memorial plaque I'm doing this morning.
I'll do a side by side comparison to the standard output from ULS 1 Touch Laser Photo.
I must say the image I've just tested (on screen) looks great.
Thank you sincerely for your efforts and for sharing.
You should make this 'shareware' at least so that we can sling you a few $ for your efforts.
Thank you again.
cheers,
Chris
