Ready to see laser magic in action? In this video, I walk you through my entire process of engraving a photo on a painted canvas using Xtool’s Creative Space Software—yes, the same technique works with Lightburn, ImagR, or your favorite diode laser setup!
I share all my secrets from selecting a high-quality photo and prepping the canvas with a perfect light-to-dark paint job, to fine-tuning image adjustments with Sharpness and Grayscale (because most of my pics are already on point!). Plus, you'll get a front-row seat to the laser engraving process—watch as the laser turns my design into a crisp, high-contrast masterpiece.
But here’s the twist: the final reveal isn’t just a new engraving—it’s a creative comeback story!
Straightforward, playful, and packed with tips for laser enthusiasts, this video is all about creativity, resourcefulness, and a bit of laser love. If you’re into DIY, laser engraving, or just love a good creative challenge, hit that subscribe button and join me on this journey!
