That's cool... but it would've been nice to see the rest of the process of importing the graphic into lightburn and engraving something.

Great Tutorial, thank you. Just for you to know. Quality 12 in a JPG from Photoshop is NOT the best quality. There are two compressors for a JPG that work together and you slide the quality slider in between the two compressors. In fact, quality set at 8 gives you the most detailed picture with the least compression possible. There are tons of videos about this topic and very few people know this. So, your tutorial is great, but the result can be even better. Try it out.

Very nice job! I used to use the color picker within photoshop to isolate the layers. This however, however is a much more precise method of defining the layers. Now, the real trick, is getting the speed, power and order right when you combine everything in Lightburn. Thanks for your tutorial insights!

I am guessing you can use this for layering, or assigning layers, for some 2.5d work in engraving? Or even for inlay work.

@reidjensen569 4 ай бұрын

I have watched this video countless times and followed along while working with PS and AI. I get everything EXCEPT at 8:38 when you select the layers and move them to the left of the original image, align them and then place them back on top of one another, but before doing so you delete the original image you started with (the black background one). I'm having a two problems: 1. when i align the layers horizontally and vertically it is just a mess of lines and 2. when I use "select" / "same" / "fill" and drag the layers off to the side I'm not left with original image I stated with. What am I doing wrong??

Great tutorial. But can't you just invert the image and use the "ignore white" setting in image trace to get rid of the square border?

@MxCtrl 9 ай бұрын

why not cleanup the border in ps before bringing it into ai?

@LaserEverything 9 ай бұрын

In this specific instance: MOSTLY becasue I didn't think of it beforehand, but additionally I try not to remove data from rasters before I know how they're going to trace. Sometimes I will upscale a raster, trace it in AI - and once I see AI's behavior I'll close it out and start over with PS to see if I can make improvements based on what I saw go down in the trace. It's an art not a science for sure.
