I really like the 2.005 window for the litho's I have only done one so far but after I have gotten the program I went back to the litho that I had done and found out that I had it inverted the wrong way so that is a big help now on seeing what it looks like before its carved..... Good job Sir....

Robert,
Absolutly beautiful, I can't believe how well even the plaid on the shirt came out. Isn't it great to remove it from the machine, hold it up to the light and think, "man I made this".

On making a light box how wide or how far is the rear of the box from the lithopane ?

Will get back with you on that. This week end my friend Walter and I are working on some ideas on the light box to see how it works out.

If it works will share.

Thank you all about the kind words on my litho's.

It might be considered cheating but I make a lot of these and I just use Michaels or hobby lobby 5x7 shadow boxes and replace the glass with the litho. That puts the light about 1 3/4 inches from the litho when I use christmas lights, 2 inches when I use LED which I don't use much because I get the christmas lights for .99 cents. Keeps my costs low and my profit higher. (note, the tips of the christmas lights almost touch the litho).

Good to know, thank you for the info.

The litho's you have been viewing of late is on a 9x7 format and I leave a 1/2" on top, bottom and each side
so one ends up with the photo area 8x6.
Not your standard size. So comes in to play making a box. Perharps an odd size yet I like it.

I'm wondering how much "touching up" you did to the photo, I'm working on a tips and tricks tutorial which describes some "tips" on how to clean up photos... the photo you used for this litho is absolutely gorgeous, did you use pattern editor to clean it up?

No touch up at all to the photo.

In most cases if you have a good photo no touch up needed.

If you need some help with you photo send it to me and I'll take a look at it.

Send me a PM.

Great job on the litho, Robert. You are really doing very well with them. I need to find some time to do a few as well.
