The recent period of cold weather has rather slowed things up a bit but spring is now on the way.
Another forum member ‘PicEngraver’ has sent me an advance beta copy of his new program ‘PicDither’ which will convert a bmp, jpg, etc image to halftone. This is capable of applying a number of different industry standard algorithms which in their own way produce differing results but the overall effect is extremely similar to the, rather overpriced, commercial program ‘PhotoGrav’.
These are my first tests made from a standard .jpg image which was then laser engraved onto MDF using the Mach3 Impact / Laser plugin. It is early days and I have not yet tried a photographic image but that is next on my list.
Further details of ‘PicDither’ can be obtained by contacting John through his website http://picengrave.com/
