- A not so quick webinar with the boys from Thunder, discussing Lightburn upcoming side by side photo editing, Lightburn processing options and some tips and tricks to getting the best result
Thank you so much for the video. I've watched several times. I really appreciate all the detailed explanations.
Thanks for this video, Please can you do a video explaining what these settings do & mean and also on the Shape properties. Not a discussion as there too much-jumping around etc . Once again thanks for your time and awesome work. Lightburn is awesome and can not wait for the new release , that looks good
I was really looking for a good tutorial... your video is all over the place.
What video are you referring to on "Fine Tuning" an image for lightburn? I have photoshop and would like to learn how to do that so that I can just import or open with lightburn.
I like the new guy lol. He asked questions I had in my head
Thank you for the video, in the future can you actually explain what type of look that you are trying to achieve by manipulating these sliders and the values? I think for the most part most people get really confused about what each of those things do because there's just a lot of sliders going back and forth but no one really explains the actual look that you're trying to achieve prior to sending that information to the laser.
I have been trying to produce a laser engraved photo I've had some success but it's not consistent for the most part I experience the "curtain" effect that you mentioned where it just seems like it was just burning the wood I think maybe I need to step my speed up I was normally doing 100 to 130 MMS, according to you I should speed the machine up ..... Again thank you for the video!!
Nice job. Lightburn is such an awesome piece of software. It can be confusing at times (burning as a whole, lol) it's best to play with the settings and log your jobs so you can create a materials database. It'll be time-consuming at first, but in the end, you will have a goto chart so you can get instant results. My experience with photos is, no matter how perfect one photo is, the same settings might not work for the next photo - so it really is about having a starting point and tweaking..
make a power scale test to save you all that time bud
Hi, Thanks for the video, What I would like to ask is, do you really use speed of 10 (mm/sec or in/sec)? And your MAX power is 14%? Both of them for a photo? If I will use it on wood, it will burn all of it in black, no? I will appreciate your answer. Thanks again.
Thank you for the Videos, im learning and getting familiar with what this program is capable of doing. i have one question ? in what instance would one use Negative Image Option. Thanks
Usually, a negative image is used on the backside of glass or acrylic. When it's viewed from the front, it will look normal. Also, if you paint tiles black, you would use a negative image to get the proper effect (used a lot with multiple colors, on canvases, mirrors, glass, etc...)
What settings do you change to get a darker engraving? I’ve seen so many pictures people have engraved that was so light you can barely see it.
Can you use this program on an epilog laser?
Why when I zoom in on a picture I see lines not dots? no matter what mode I set it on.
I am looking at an Epilog Fusion pro 80W are the preset in the machine a good starting point?
Where are the links that were mentioned toward the end off the session please?
Thank you so very much for this informative video. I'm more confused now than I was.
what laser cutter do you have? mine is a 60w laser cutter, can i use your cutting parameters?
I think he said he was using a 100w laser, you would need to increase your numbers, which is why a test burn is best for dialing in the settings.
Hi, I have a Ortur LM2 PRO 0 watts laser, but as adviced by the Ortur support I cannot cut 6mm plywood and acerlric even with 6 passes,Anyone can advice me on this, or suggest a better CNC cutter which can even cut plywood upto 10mm>
Thanks in advance
Nicholas.
i have the same laser engraver, (10 watt I assume) cutting 6mm birch ply takes a few passes, I set it to 4 passes, let it rest to cool for a couple minutes and do it again two more times, to cut wood that thick and more you really need a 40 watt machine for a single pass (I don't have $2k+ to spend) if you want high production.
Hi guys, nice video. I owned an Epilog 30w way back in the early 2000's and the tube went bad a few years later and they wanted $3500, so I gave it up until now, Bought a 60w thunderlaser. Anyway, used to do loads of black marble photo engravings and used the spectacle software at that time, which was Photograv. So here I am in this truly integrated environment and enjoying every bit of the learning process but @ 71 years young I need a nap after 2 hours learning new things LOL. Anyway had a couple of questions. 1. Was the photo you imported originally color? If not, what was your process for B&w conversion? I want to continue with the black marble and black granite depending on the outcome so just trying to get to the point I can actually do my first try. Thanks guys I have a 60w if you are interested in providing me your guesses with the Jarvis method as to speed and power. Thanks again for your time ..... Bob
You can import the photo into LightBurn without converting to grayscale. Lightburn will do the rest. All major edits like background removal and heavy retouching need to be done in an outside program like photoshop.
@@HouseOfLasers 👍👍👍👍
A discussion/explanation of what each of the shape properties do and what affect adjustments to these properties will have on photos would be very helpful!
You all probably dont care but does anybody know a way to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@Grey Alexzander instablaster ;)
@Armani Zayne i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Armani Zayne It worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out !
@Grey Alexzander happy to help xD
wow. went way into the weeds at 9 min. and stayed there for a good 7 min. omg blah blah blah.. and then finally stuck with Jarvis!!! Ok. I gave up at 19 min. Thanks anyway guys.
What machine and lens ?
To much jumping around , couldn’t get the concept of getting the picture engraved, I need a do this then that finished.
Where can I get the file?
Great video. I save it as a resource to watch again in the future. Chris does a great job explaining Lightburn, but the other guy (not Grant) keeps interrupting him. I found that to be distracting from the content of the video.
👌
didnt see this being a crash course
There’s always a lot of shit I could do better.
U did not show how you imported the image.
On a Mac all you have to do it copy paste.. Dine
You did not show the end result nor the media for these settings. not a bit of help here. just a couple of guys having a conversation.
for me this was out of control ... to much off current subject .....WAY to much jumping around
It was an open discussion… maybe next time we just hit bullet points
Agreed. this is not a tutorial, this is open discussion I need a video, step 1, do this, step 2....etc......
been a lot better if you had focused the camera
Good idea, but way too much talking without getting to the point. I'm guessing many people tuned out because of that.
Missed the mark, should rename the title. Not very instructional
Lots of good info but way too hard to glean it from all the extemporaneous comments. More confusing than educational. Sorry.
Too much info for a beginner!
These guys just talk too much and make it very confusing
Have they added a cooling setting for diode lasers yet
hi how to contact u?
You just did..
