Thanks. Very informative. I have found tracing in Lightburn is easier and sometimes better than in dedicated graphic programs.

Thank you very much for taking the time to make these videos. Us newbies would have a hard time learning without people like you. Your time is greatly appreciated and I might have the right to speak for all newbies on here. I have also joined your Facebook group in hopes of finding a helping hand when needed. Again, thank you very much for giving us newbies your time and well made videos.

Hey Gil, just found your channel. i have been lasering for about 10 months and absolutely love it. This video fits in perfectly with a project im trying to do. I have a customer that hand drew some art work and i just can not seem to get it cleaned up. This video seems to be the ticket for cleaning up the image. The image has a million nodes. I 'm going to ty this today and see if i can get it cleaned up. Thank you or your videos. Jim in Idaho USA

Great to hear Jim! Welcome aboard :) Thanks for letting me know that the tutorial is a help with a job your working on. I'm interested to see if you can optimise the node count and still get the hand drawn image working. If you could share your results with us on the Laser Livestream facebook group, that would be awesome! The link is in the description. Very exciting :)

Thanks for the feedback. If you check out some of the past Laser Livestreams, we show a number of projects that use traced images and the results after processing on a laser. Let me know if you would like a comprehensive rundown on the different modes as a tutorial. :)

Hey Gil, just learning and trying to bring in images. I dont understand all the different types of files such as png or svg etc. I only use lightburn on the Otur lasermaster 20w. when trying to copy an image from the internet, what files should I be looking for or which is a better file type. thank you for a great video. The comments are also informative.

File types like JPG and PNG are raster image files (made up of little pixels). SVG is a vector image file (made up of lines). If you want to make trace like the tutorial, look for high-resolution JPG or PNG files. Sometimes they are compressed for placement on the WWW, so look for large files when you do a google search (You can choose "Large" files on the search options). If you can find an SVG file,. use that as you can scale it up and down without having to trace the image. In fact, running a trace turns your image into a vector, just like an SVG! Let me know how you go, and I would love it if you could share with me your results on the Laser Livestream Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/laserlivestream

Ha! So, I learned something new after all - the possibility to make a sub-selection when tracing - cool, thanks, Gil. It may be easier to focus on this if the music is completely muted off. Great vid, thanks!

Hi Frank. You are going to have to help me out here. Fox Alien Resizer?

ff topic question. Running macOS using supplied cable using an USB-A to USB-C adapter. Xtool D1 10 w The only software that connects is XTool Creative Space. It runs on this software. I am unable to get so lightburn or laser box software to discover D1. Kind of weird seeing how laser box and creative space is the same developer. I think. any help would be appreciated.

can you do a trace say of a fish for an engraving and set it to cut the perimeter of the fish . so you will then have a fish shape as your picture and the body is laser engraved. I'm sure there is a way to do this if so can you show us please.Thank you so much.

You can ungroup everything and then select the out line of shape that you want to cut. Once that is selected, you select the setting to cut. Everything else should remain as engrave. Once that's done, you select all and group again.

Gil, good presentation. I hate to say this because it is so picky, but if you would turn off the traverse lines on the preview it would be easier to see the end product. Also all those scan lines tell me you are not using the "Fill shapes individually" function on the cut settings editor. By using that function you can save a lot of burning time. I don't mean to be critical, just trying to help out.

Hi Emiel, I think I know what your asking, but if this is not what your looking for, let me know. You can put a border around your image using the offset tools in Lightburn, or manually create one using the shape tools. Then cut the border on a seperate layer set to cut. Let me know how that works out!

Does LightBurn accept SVG files from CorelDraw or AI?

@LaserLivestream

5 ай бұрын

Yes, LightBurn does accept SVG files, which means you can use SVG files created in CorelDraw or Adobe Illustrator (AI). Just save your designs in these programs as SVG files, and then you can import them directly into LightBurn for your laser projects. What are you planning to work on that involves designs from CorelDraw or AI? 🎨🖌️💻

Buongiorno Gil ottimo video ti volevo chiedere se si vettorializza un immagine con doppia linea come si può tagliare con linea centrale esempio volevo vettorializzare un cuore a puzzle ma ci sta la doppia linea e viene male come posso fare grazie

@LaserLivestream

Ciao Michele, Il tipo di tracciatura eseguita da Lightburn crea la doppia linea. Si desidera utilizzare il tracciamento della linea centrale, disponibile in Adobe Illustrator o Inkspace. Ho avuto lo stesso problema con alcuni dei tracciati che ho fatto. Ho usato Inkspace per creare il vettore di cui avevo bisogno. Spero che sia d'aiuto.
