Photographs can be imported directly by the software and added to the workpiece. The software converts the photograph’s color directly to depth (black and white being at opposite ends of the spectrum). Importing photographs and carving them into semi-transparent plastic with backlighting creates a very interesting photographic effect (see Results page). Carving realistic 3-D photographs into wood takes additional image manipulation expertise simply because of the lack of information contained in the 2-D photo.
