The best way to watch this video is to watch it all the way through to the end Then Go back and make an outline with pen and paper, then retype my notes. This provides me with a three-step approach to the video. I taped the video for review purposes and then watched the individual segments. As I watched the segments I set up a picture in Lightburn and did the steps with the video. This is one of the best videos I have seen and used to engrave photos usingLIghtburn.

Excellent video. One addition could be to add a list of steps before starting the 1st process. That way it becomes like a to-do list for beginners like me. But thanks a ton for all these efforts and sharing your experience :)

Thank you so much for this! I am new to lasers and am having a BLAST with it! I am addicted lol. I have a really cool photo that I want to engrave, but hae no clue how to go about that. This explains things that others don't even mention when setting it up for burn. Thank yo so much for sharing your knowledge with us!

Line interval testing may be better against the grain on wood? I will test myself, but may help reduce false readings

The interval on my diode laser changes depending on focal length so its important to note the focal length too, I did a ramp test to determine the thinnest line width which was actually below the regular recommended focal length so a ramp test is worth your time to get the best DPI possible before you do the interval test.

Great video. I have been using Lightburn for photo engraving for a couple of years now and I too started with the research and guess method. I learned a couple of new things from your video. Thank you. Two questions, did you do any image adjustments, in Lightburn, to the photo? Do you find that by following your steps, you don't have to do image adjustments?

@asherdiy 7 ай бұрын

If I remember correctly, I don't think I did any "image adjustments" (put in quotes because someone else who reads this might not know that is the name of a specific menu in Lightburn) for the husky project in this video. However, I do sometimes use image adjustments now. What I try to do is find a combination of image adjustments that works well for a given material. It doesn't work every time because every photo is a little different, but it can be a really good start point. For example, I have a preset of image adjustments for engraving photos on Slate that works almost every time.

One of the most frustrating things I've come across is understanding everything being discussed/talked about, but not being able to actually apply it. I do these tests and i still can't seem to get better results. Great information and explanations though

Great video. It's the fisrt one I look from you and very well done. But ! I was hoping to get a little more detail on the value to enter in the Max power min power ??! I guest the max power is the one establish with power speed test but what about the min power ? Why not 0% ??

Super helpful to me - thanks! What, if any, product you do use to finish this? Do you lightly sand & apply a poly (maybe satin sheen)?

@asherdiy 8 ай бұрын

Personally, I didn't apply finish to it, but you certainly could. For a light colored wood, I think your suggestion of a light sand and a satin sheen finish could look really nice.

I am trying the same, did very big test grid as well, but the results what i am getting is either brown colour engraved or dipper but not the dark black colour as you are able to achieve on surface of the ply, am I doing anything wrong, or i have selected wrong material, i have selected 7mm plywood.

There's different veneers on plywood and they'll react differently. Red oak seems to show more grain, walnut is dark regardless, and birch seems awesome. You'll have to play around depending on which one you have. Those are just 3 species I use.
