Three simple steps from photo to engraving:
1. Import Your Photo — Choose any image from your camera roll or take a new photo directly in the app. High-contrast images and portraits with clear light/shadow separation produce the best results.
2. Adjust & Preview — Use the depth intensity, contrast, blur, and invert controls to dial in your depth map. The live preview shows exactly how the grayscale will translate to laser depth on your material.
3. Export & Engrave — Export your depth map as a PNG (recommended), JPEG, or BMP and import it directly into your laser software. Enable grayscale/photo engraving mode in LightBurn or your preferred software and you're ready to engrave.
