With the new settings, it looked like selecting one and then switching to Manual doesn’t give you the default settings as a starting point.

I only ran that one test, but the major change I noted is in the LPI values…those did change.

I’ll have to look at what else has changed for the rest of the settings…it was pretty late last night when I got that test case done. (Also trying to wrap about a hundred Christmas presents… ROFL!)

We can still tweak settings for sure.

Sure thing - it’s actually discussed in the "tutorial that is no longer necessary"chuckle!…

Just start with the part beginning in Photoshop and go forward, then choose SD Engrave settings for the Engrave.

Glowforge Interface - Splitting a Large Image for the GFUI - No Lines Method
