Lightburn Tutorial : Master image cropping and editing in Lightburn

Lightburn Tutorial: Master image cropping in Lightburn
Emblaser Pro video information and preorder: darklylabs.com/?aff=3
In this Lightburn tutorial, I'm going to share with you how to create an image mask in Lightburn. This image processing tool will allow you to set up your images within Lightburn saving you time and money when working with your laser. This is the best way to crop an image in Lightburn.
Image masking in Lightburn is a relatively new feature that allows you to edit the shape of an existing image without making a permeant change to the image file. The masks can be adjusted and resized to get a professional result.
Master image masking in this Lightburn tutorial and add this creative feature to your Lightburn toolbox.

just received the d1 pro 10w the other day and have been watching your videos trying to learn. very well explained how to do stuff. did the masking first try after your video, did the cleaning video, learning the library now. THANKS for all the time and help.

[@t1czer]

I was making my 1st 3D map project today. And i needed just that! Thank you!

[@terryevans1976]

Great tutorial. Just the right amount of details.

[@LaserLivestream]

Thank you Terry. We will continue sharing what we love ❤ Now that you can image mask your artwork and incorporate it in your projects, what will you use this feature in Lightburn to make?

[@LowVisionUKTerrysView]

very very useful and easy to understand - thank you so much

[@LaserLivestream]

Thank you, Terry! 🙏 What do you use Lightburn and your Laser to create? I would love to see them but you can not post pictures to KZbin, but you can in the Laser Livestreams Facebook group! facebook.com/groups/laserlivestream We would love to have you aboard!

[@vaughanza]

Awesome , thanks for great video

[@LaserLivestream]

Glad you enjoyed the tutorial. How are you going to use masking in your laser projects Vaughan?

[@espaspascal]

Brilliant, thank you for sharing, I will send my results !

[@LaserLivestream]

Thank you Pascal. I look forward to seeing your results! What are you planning to make with your laser?

[@Darkdc]

Great stuff!!

[@LaserLivestream]

Thank you AT. Hope you can chill a little now that you know how to crop an image in Lightburn!

[@paulantonucci6933]

thank you

[@LaserLivestream]

Thank you Paul 🙏 What are you planning to make now that you have mastered the image crop tool?

[@darrellbrown9475]

Thanks so much for the detail about the tool layer button: others blow right by that. Then you click and click and wonder why it doesn’t work.

[@dasfreakster]

Awesome. I'm learning new stuff every day. Now we need a way to feather/fade the edges in Lightburn.

[@LaserLivestream]

It would be nice and who knows what the future holds with Lightburn. We might just see a feather option turn up. What would you use the fade feature for in a project?

[@dasfreakster]

@@LaserLivestream Sometimes I do pics on wood and such and some of those images have hard lines. For example if its a square pic you can see a square when I laser it even if its faint.

[@LaserLivestream]

@@dasfreakster Love to see what you make: If you can, join the Facebook group so you can post an image :) facebook.com/groups/laserlivestream/

[@soothingrelaxingmeditation3129]

great vid

[@LaserLivestream]

Thank you 🙏 What do you make with your laser?

[@bernardwells9549]

Very useful video thanks, I was scratching my head trying to sort this out!! One thing i did notice was that if you try to apply the mask and have overlapped in to the work area not covered by the image, it wont work. Maybe its obvious to some, but it took me a while to realise what i had done initially!!! Thanks again.

[@LaserLivestream]

Hi Bernard, I tried out what you described and your right, it doesn't work. Hopefully the Lightburn team will see your comment (they come and check out comments on videos from time to time) and will address it in a future update.

[@NinjaHempKnight]

I am new to diode lasers and light burn and your videos have been a great help. Can you do a quick video on how you put image settings in your cut library?

[@LaserLivestream]

Hi Michael, I have an older tutorial covering your material library. You can use the same workflow to add setting that work for your laser in the image section. kzbin.info/www/bejne/foHNaXVsjZ6qrdU Let me know if that answers you issue and keep lasering! :)

[@geraldlamothe6091]

Thanks for another great video Gil.It would nice if Lightburn would integrate a crop function, it would be easier…

[@LaserLivestream]

TheI was thinking the same thing, until I realised that you can crop an image by using the "Flatten image mask" option when you have applied the image mask. Once thats done, it's like a permanent crop, created directly in Lightburn! Let me know if that helps! :)

[@GoAway-zi8wu]

just start at 2:00

[@tomashby9428]

Great Tutorial! That's Han Solo and Storm Troopers from Star Wars by the way.

[@LaserLivestream]

Oh no! Don't say that... Disney will come after me! :) Glad you liked the tutorial. What are you planning to use image cropping in Lightburn for?

[@tomashby9428]

@@LaserLivestream not sure yet. Just adding it to my arsenal.

[@rightpassage]

Finally a video I think I can work with unless you have a better way? When I download a template. It will have multiple things on it. When all I want is one image from the bunch. I was told to put a box around it but the box doesn't seem to work. Maybe I need to tool it? I tried to cut, trace, lord knows what else? So new & I seem to spend more time watching videos then burning them. Feeling of buyer's remorse setting in. My employer wants to GIVE me a really nice Epilog or Thunder. Said it's blue & white $20,000? That's been in storage for me to have. When I can't seem to start my own 20w diode yet. What say you? Please help!! I don't want to also learn Inkscape or something else when I know Lightburn has it all! Still on the free trial.🤔

[@joepetto4783]

Hy I have a problem of when I send an image on my co2 to burn it flips like when it's facing right when it burns it will flip to left ..... Please help

[@ashsearcy471]

Great Video!! I see you have several settings saved.. is there a video on how to save them and do you have a file with all your settings?

[@LaserLivestream]

Hi Ash, glad you found us. The library settings in Lightburn are a feature of the software, and the setting itself really only works for the type of machine you are using. I use an Emblaser 2 diode laser that you can find out more about here at darklylabs.com/ I have a video tutorial talking about how to make library settings that I think will help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/foHNaXVsjZ6qrdU Also, let me know what your going to make with your laser. Always interested to see what people create using their laser!

[@ashsearcy471]

@@LaserLivestream Great information, thanks! I'm currently working on picture cups, ammo cans and knifes for Father's Day but I would love to make these neon like signs I have been seeing!

[@learntodriveproperly1357]

how do you do this in the version 1.1.02?there is no more mask and so on available.i found there trace image.but i like your way as well it is fast and easy to do.would love if lightburn still has this step.

[@LaserLivestream]

The mask option is still in the menu when you right-click AFTER selecting both the image and a shape vector. The option will not be shown if you have not selected both elements together. The tutorial shows you how to make sure you have both elements selected. So you are still able to use this method to crop your images in Lightburn. I used version 1.1.03 to check it out. What are you planning to use the image masking feature in Lightburn to create?

[@zachofalltrades6116]

Can you make a video where you use one image to masks over another image , I want to create a American flag but want another image set with the flag but want to make the strips look like they stop to the shape of the insert image like it was made together, if that makes sense

[@LaserLivestream]

Can you reach out to me in the Facebook group so I can understand exactly what you are trying to active?

[@Dominguezucv]

Hello. I’m using lightburn on my Mac and I don’t know what I don’t get the “mask” options. Are you using Windows or MacOS on this video? Thanks :(

[@LaserLivestream]

I use a Mac for all my tutorials. If you don't have the mask option in the drop-down menu, make sure you have both the image and mask element selected. Once you have selected both, the option will present itself in the menu.

[@Dominguezucv]

@@LaserLivestream Thank you so much. I was selecting everything and still no solution BUT I followed your advise on having every item on every layer as a group and BOOM problem solved!!!!. Thank you so much!!!

[@LaserLivestream]

@@Dominguezucv Glad to have you working with the tools in Lightburn. What are you planning to make with Lightburn and your laser?

[@parker1ray]

What is maaaaaster? LOL!

[@joelrggizmo1373]

You're doing a good job but you move your mouth sometime so fast that I cannot tell what you've clicked on. You use something along with your software that allows the mouse to highlight the area you're clicking on thank you.

[@LaserLivestream]

Sorry Joel, my mouth moves at a set rate! :) Seriously though, I will make sure that in future tutorials it is clearer for the viewer to understand what I am selecting. What are you creating with your laser? Let me know! :)

[@goshko102]

It looks you don't know what are you doing :D

[@LaserLivestream]

Lucky we both know that looks are deceiving... :) What do you create with your laser @goshko102?

[@bigben5081]

its funny that you dont know that its Star Wars🤣🤣🤣

[@stephenbushell4217]

That would likely infringe KZbin’s copyright rules…

[@leilaniramirez576]

It was pretty obvious that he did know, and because he didn't want to get into copyright trouble for using the words "Star Wars", he called it Space Battle - same meaning, different words.
