You caught me... This photo was real small and I should of photochopped it to get little clearer. I only masked
what I didn't want to carve. Then used Photocave to fine tune the contrast and make the code. imported in to Vcarve
created the cutout vectors.
I normally will try sharpen the image if needed, I have also used the blur option. I will also subdue any hots spots ( light glare)
I wish I could give you better answer, I just go by how it looks to me and how it looks when ran through the PVC software ..
I wish I was better versed in the use of photoshop. Hopefully this dog is not to old to learn
I have Aspire software, So maybe in the future I will learn how to get it to do my lithos,but so far I am more then happy with the PVC program.
