Lightburn - Image Mode Engraving Mistakes and Stuff

With every new skill, you gotta learn the basics. This was one of the main things that impressed me about laser engraving, and still is. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean it's easy. Take my experience with these few examples as a starting point for your own engraving project. Great results are possible, but no single image is perfect off the bat. These are the basics for image engraving in Lightburn.
But if you want to see how I go about planning for my image projects, enjoy!

So you don't pre-process your Images using ImagR before importing in LightBurn? You import them directly into it ? Have you tried both options to see which one is best ?

[@nerdysir144]

Depends on the image. High resolution with even lighting will usually work like a charm, but if it's grainy or low resolution, then you'll get bad results. Ideally you'd set the dpi to the same dpi as the image.

What would be the ideal speed and power setting for 5w ortur diode. Thanks.

[@nerdysir144]

I'm guessing the speeds are lower on those models. For a 5w, maybe try 50mm/sec? I always recommend testing.

The stress of learning a new skill is... well, stressful. That's one reason I try to address questions and problems as they pop up. What's bothering you about your laser?
