Mother’s Day photo cube

Made this for Mother’s Day. I am always so impressed by the engraves I see everyone post. I don’t understand what you all are doing to get them to come out so amazing . I’m going with practice makes perfect.

This is a great start! The biggest difference you can make is to be sure to get a good pic to start with (b/w, push the sharpen). I’m sure she loved it!

I think your photos look great! If you want a deeper dive into the subject though, you might check this out:

How I Prepare Photos for Engraving Using Photoshop

I originally posted this over on my website at Glowforge Projects: How to Prepare a Photo Engrave Using Photoshop and Engraving on the Glowforge Laser Cutter but thought it might make an OK addition here. I think all of the photos are carrying over - fingers crossed… If you’re here, you are probably wondering how to get the best photo engrave out of your Glowforge 3D Laser Printer / Cutter. And you’re in the right place, because, besides cutting jigsaw puzzles, engraving photos keeps my machine…

What a lovely gift. I should make one for myself with my favorite family photos.
