Turbocharge the TRACE feature in LIghtBurn, this works great!

In this video I show you from start to finish oh how to use a process with converting your image into a bitmap then into a SVG for a much better tracing right in Lightburn. I provide 3 different examples so show the versatility of this process. This is one option for your tool box for sure.
Jeff Fisher KZbin video on where I got the info to apply this technique! Thank you for posting this Jeff!

Very well done video! H/As a former Air Force instructor, I appreciate you paying attention to the concept of "Tell them what you're going to tell them, tell them, then summarize what you've told them." You repeated the process several times and showed the results with photos to reinforce the learning of the concept. Very well done, excellent!

[@computercreationz]

Thank you for your comments, I know some people don’t like the repetition but that’s How it sinks in for me so I gravitate to that style of teaching.

[@RBourn9]

@@computercreationz Yup, same thing for me. I guess when you get old like me you get dense as well. 🤪😂 Thanks for the reply and have a great evening!

[@baileyjim1]

Great video! I really liked that you recapped your steps after each section. Really helped my ADD, lol.

[@computercreationz]

I appreciate the input

[@gilbertboyer9936]

I love watching your presentations. You are concise, a good speaker and give clear precise instructions. Your topics are very relevant and very helpful. Thank you so much.

[@computercreationz]

Wow, thank you!

[@MonaVikstrom]

What a good video, thank you! I love how you explain each step with the examples and then repeat it again.

[@computercreationz]

Glad it was helpful!

Great video. Tracing has usually been a PIA for me. This process has greatly improved my results. I also saw Jeff's video and it has been a game changer for tracing. Thanks!

[@computercreationz]

glad to hear it’s helping !

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I've been doing it this way for about 2 years Robert, but with one slight difference. I find that sliding the Enhance Amount all the way up to 1500, or the top of the scale, and then just a little radius adjustment makes for an incredible trace. I haven't done a video on it because older computers tend to lock up when processing the image in such detail. *Great tutorial though!*

[@computercreationz]

Hey Rich , thanks for the tip, I will have to give that a try for sure. Anything that helps these marginal pics makes it easier.

[@karvtek]

I also saw Jeff’s video last week. 😊 I look forward to trying this process but have been busy with some production work.

[@computercreationz]

Have fun!

[@mp6814]

Related idea: how to create stencils. Thanks for another great tutorial!

[@computercreationz]

thanks for the suggestion!

[@mgervais10]

WOW thank you

[@RonMarshallrone]

I saw Jeffs vid last week. Def game changer.

[@computercreationz]

he did a great job explaining it

[@Wompaks]

This is perfect, I've been fighting with a photo of a chocolate lab for the last week. I'll give this a try to see if it makes it better. Thanks

[@computercreationz]

my pleasure

[@michaelgonzalez8863]

Thank you !

[@computercreationz]

You're welcome!

[@rshawiii]

very informative and timely to a project I am working on. I'm working with both lightburn and inkscape . This could really help reduce the number of back and forth between the two tools. Any insight into the trace features capabilities in lightburn vs inkscape? I'm wanting to go from landscape photos to some nice looking vector-lasered art.

[@computercreationz]

if your looking for a inexpensive photo editing program look to affinity photo. it great

[@alb673]

Great video. What about burning as greyscale. I know it would take ages, but would you still process the photo as you did for the trace? I'm still learning. Thanks

[@computercreationz]

Yes that what I do as well this process is not to do a pic but to convert a pic to a svg. Very different process. It’s confusing I know! Thank for watching

[@ProfessorOfEconomics]

Would this process help with engraving on slate?

[@computercreationz]

it could it the regular photo doesn’t engrave well

[@TheMisterTFM]

Rehashing Jeff Fishers video. 👎

[@jaycunningham2723]

What's wrong with that? He acknowledged Jeff and Robert has a nice way of explaining things.

[@computercreationz]

I’m just trying to get this useful info out to more people. sorry you feel that way.

[@retparatrooper]

Thanks for looking out for me man. I appreciate that very much. Some people out to make money on KZbin. I’m not. I just try to help people out.
