If my log on name looks funny, I missed typed my own name. :o
Well I just learned about this machine about an hr ago and like what I've seen so far.
I have a question on the depth of cut vs gray scale. Is this software limited to 256 gray levels? or can we go finer and also how is the depth of cut determined in the gray scale? Is one level = to .1 mm or do we divide the 1'" depth by 256 gray levels, if this is the manor of determining the levels. My concern is if I create a photo of say a street scene and carve this into a board how do I control the smoothness.
I have both photoshop cs and corel draw 12 so I have great control from that point but like a fellow posted about wanting to carve lithopanes which are only a couple of mil thick, is there a setting for the total depth each of us wants.
I am interested in the possibilities here. Thanks for the space to ask a very eager and maybe simple question. Wyndham Dennison (wynpotter)
