The ones I downloaded charred the wood for more than half of the settings and did nothing to the tile for about 1/3 of the settings. I have no issue doing some tests but I’d rather not do 100 mm/min - 9,000 mm/ min, 10%-100% power for each one (that’s an extreme example, but I hope you know what I mean).

Thank you. I am just getting started with a laser and Lightburn. I have a cnc and use Vectric for it. Looks like Vectric and Lightburn are very similar in use. A few variations, but the same general approach. Not sure how familiar you are with Vectric, but am wondering like in the case of these ornaments, could I do the center cutout on the laser, save the program and and pull it up in Vectric to do the full piece cutout on my cnc? I have heard in my “studies on KZread” that a lot of cutting with a diode laser will weaken the power over time. Not sure if that’s correct or not, but at least in smaller pieces like these, it would be nice to have the grisp corners that the laser would produce that the cnc couldn’t do even with a small end mill, but the outside cut wouldn’t be affected.

You have to do your own testing on a sacrificial piece of each material you use to dial in your settings. I have two videos showing how to do it.

I didn't use anyone's work, it was for reference only, and the final traces were distinctly different than the original which was deleted and not used. My minor in college was graphic art, which included 2 copyright classes. There were zero copyright strikes in this video. Think of it this way, if you drew an NFL logo by hand, (without using the trademarked name) by looking at a photo of it, it's not the same logo and not subject to copyright. Making something similar is not infringement, especially for personal use. The law is pretty clear, and I did make substantial changed to the images I used for the demonstration. Almost all of the images I use are hand drawn on a tablet while looking at a sample.

I'm a designer and just wanted you to know you can't go stealing images off Google and then using them to make your own to sell, and then say someone else can't sell the files that you stole from Google.

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy You made a derivative work from the original .png file that you copied/pasted. You copied the placements verbatim and then used other .png files created by other artist (trees and snowflakes) to make a new work in which none of it was your own. To make it your own and to get the "inspiration" you would have needed to draw your own snowflakes and trees by hand. Maybe your trees had more branches and your snowflakes were more elaborate...but that would be YOUR work because you drew it yourself without taking bits and pieces from files. The point is that is not your tree nor your snowflake that was created by your own imagination. It is a slippery slope, but as an author and artist myself, I think it's important to tell people that you can't just go taking images off the internet that were created by others, take bits and pieces to copy from and then say it was your own work. Then to turn around to sell those files is copyright infringement if someone could prove that you used their images in your end product. To make this legit, you would have needed to obtain a LICENSE from the website (such as freepik and creative market) and ensured that license allowed you to create derivative works to use commercially.
