How to Engrave Photos with a Laser | Using Lightburn and LaserGRBL

Sir. I thank you from the bottom of my heart! For the first time, I'm consistently getting the results I longed for, over a long time. Thanks again Sir! Your effort and knowledge shared with the community is greatly appreciated.

Fantastic, Tomasz! Thanks for all the testing and comparison! 😃 It's really interesting how the changes in the software reflects on the wood! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I had been using imagr with success when engraving on canvas and glass for negative imaging, but struggling with wood, until I saw this. Thank you.

I've got a big project on my hands engraving a photo, this video is very helpful! This will be my first photo engraving wish me luck

We have done a few experiments with two different laser engravers to engrave pictures. We even used borax and baking soda tricks. Both at the risk of completely ruining the projects. We are still learning and trying to get the hang of our engravers. We have also used lightburn and laser GRBL. We like lightburn but our current engraver is not compatible with it. We hope to get back to lightburn someday. But we get by ok with what we have. We try to stay creative with our projects. We have not done a lot of videos on our channel on photo engraving because we keep getting inconsistent results. We are yet to tune in the settings to get what we want. We have observed that a diode laser engraves better than a CO2 engraver.

Another great video (as usual) 👍 .... I think the sheer number of options for engraving a photo will be confusing for a lot of people ... especially the result when you change the power and speed settings! Is the screen output a reasonable representation of what the actual output will be for the given material or is it a more of a try it and see what happens?

I’m a keen amateur photographer, pets & landscapes mainly, and testing out laser engraving photos to wood first. I’m debating how to maximise quality of the image before I even bring it in to Lightburn… Would increasing structure clarity be best? Using Snapseed and Procreate on my iPad.

Hello teacher! I did a test, using the speed (suggested by you) of 6000 mm/min and, I used the "Gray Scale" but, it weakly marked the wood/MDF (10W laser). I redid the test, now using a speed of 2400 mm/min, still using "Gray Scale" but this time the image (photo) was not sharp. Shows the image as a cloud.

How do u remove back ground from a picture in light burn ? Example: if I just wanted a picture of my dog not the trees etc !!

I'm sure I have seen that image of you on an Interpol most wanted site😂

How long did the photos take

It's not healthy for a diode laser to go 100% on power
