Laser Photo Engraving

First of all Laser Photo Wizard Pro solves many of the issues that plague laser photo engraving. If you are engraving wood you of course will select a hardwood like alder or maple but after that you need to play with power and speed setting for the best results and even when you get some that work it make not work on the next piece of wood you buy. Laser Photo Wizard solves this problem by providing three engraving methods. The first two sketch and Dithered Gray and much less sensitive to power setting.
The second problem it that, especial on wood, image contrast can be lost. Special algorithms have been created to increase contrast.

Dithered Photo, Dithered Gray


Three Methods of Photo Engraving

o Sketch - Creates a outline engravable on any material with even the least expensive laser

o Dithered Gray - New in Version 12, Similar to Sketch but with more fine detail. This method has great contrast and is not that sensitive to power setting. It is the default method.

o Dithered Photo - Photo quility detail


Dithering converts gray scale photos into pure black and white dots.
For Dithered Photo and Dithered Gray it offers 3 Dithering Methods:

o Floyd-Steinberg Dithering - Standard Dithering.

o Colby Dithering - Colby dithering uses the artificial intelligence technique, simulated annealing. Not only does this give great results, it also provides the ability to compensate for dot overlap that can distort images. The Colby Annealing algorithm can thin the dots but still place them in an optimum position.

o Dot Migration Dithering - Colby Dot migration combines Floyd-Steinberg with some of the features of Colby Dithering. It starts with Floyd-Steinberg but then it moves some of the dots to improve contrast.

3D Gray Engraving
Some of the newer lasers support 3D engraving. This mode changes the power of the laser depending on the gray scale of the image. While 3D depth maps are the best for this job they are hard to make. Laser Photo Wizard 5 assigns a gray scale value to the dithered image to create a 3D look.



3D Gray is not true 3D. What it does is it raises the image off the background then engraves the raised area. To do this the image needs to be a png file with a transparent background. These files can easily be made by Photoshop and other image editing software. You can also use Green Screen Wizard to create a transparent background for any image shot on a green screen.
Simply changing your text to white and will create raised letters on the final image.

Laser Input Generators

Generators are programs that create images that can be vectorized to cut out parts. The Box generator cuts out parts for a box or serving tray. The Birdhouse generator cuts out parts for a bird house. The Connected Text creates text where all the letters are connected. Future generators may include wood mirrors, wooden toys or user requests.

Box Generator
While the focus of laser photo wizard is to be the world's best photo engraving software, it is recognized that many of our uses are engraving these photographs to give as gifts or sell at shows. Most lasers are powerful enough to cut thin wood so what better way to show off your engraving but at the top of a box or the image of serving tray. The box generator can create a top and the bottom of a box or it can create a cube that is cut with a saw into 2 parts. The boxes can be any dimensions and there are several setting for the kind and number of cuts on the sides. The box generator can also create trays with handles.

Some Examples




Birdhouse Generator
The Box Generator proved to be a very useful and fun option. It was decided to add other generators. The first one was a birdhouse generator. This generator can create 3 different kinds of birdhouses, Traditional, Flat Roof and Tapered Bottom.

Connected Generator
People love seeing fancy text, especially their own name. This feature makes it easy to make dramatic text signs. The connected text options is just what it sounds like, this generator will create text that is connect to a base or connected to itself. You can select the font and the size and other options. This generator will create an output image to be engraved and a black image that can be vectorized for cutting the image out. The basic styles that can be created are:

Other Features
Add Text and Images
The system has an advanced text feature that lets you place text of any color and font anyplace on the output. Text can be output as bitmap text or vector text.

Actual output with text:


Cutout Images
When loading an image, you can choose to have the system trace it and output it as vectors. The vectors can highlight or cut the image out depending on your engraver settings.

In this example the black silhouette was imported as an image and converted to cutting vectors to create this beautiful Christmas ointment:
