8x15 engraved tile plaque

I use sharpies also but for this project I used paint markers that I picked up at a local Walmart so I could use silver and gold for the lettering.

Very awesome, and very well done

Thank you.

When you adjust the brightness and the contrast which direction do you go with it? Do you make it a little darker or lighter?

For this project I made it darker so the vet would stand out. Once I was good with the vet. Then I used gimp’s dodge/burn tool on the back ground until I was satisfied. Hope this helps.

Did you invert the image?

No I did not. Keep adjusting the sharpness,brightness and so on till I got it where I wanted it.
