But using the interactive side of Photograv gives much finer control over that conversion and than you can get with Photoshop or PhotoPaint.ĭithering allows a much higher quality image to be engraved than halftone can ever hope to produce. I can get just as good a conversion to a dithered image from Photoshop by using sharpening and then converting the mode to bitmap. I find that the purely automated side of Photograv is lacking in quality compared to the interactive side of Photograv. That preview is somewhat useful but not the most important part of Photograv. Photograv also has simulation built in so you get a preview of what the image might look like when engraved on the selected material. The difference is that Photograv gives far more control over the conversion process than either of those paint programs.
We are running X3 - what format would you like for me to send them to you in? Photograv is a program designed to convert grayscale images into dithered bitmap pure black and white images. The only real difference is the resolution for these materials, but even then not much difference.

I assume then that you use PhotoGrav and would recommend it? Somewhere in the vast archives are about three posts of mine that go step-by-step in how to prepare the photo for engraving on wood, black brass, and marble. I'm not sure how it works on this site that well yet but if you need my email it's info mduffyenterprises. It would be great to get some samples from you. Just let me know!! Cody, Thanks for your reply. If you'd like, I'll be happy to send you an example of the "before" and "after" Photograv files. In other words, the image before being processed through PhotoGrav and the image after.Īny tips on what makes a good image for engraving onto stone? We do a good bit of photo work, mostly on acrylic and black marble. What does PhotoGrav do to the image that could not be done in a sophisticated graphics program like, say, PhotoShop? Would anyone have any before and after images they would be willing to show. Just bought a laser engraver a month ago. So far I love it! This is a great resource. I just discovered this site about a week ago and just registered today.
