Batranger 1 Posted January 12, 2011 ive been trying that with photoshop and i just cant get it right? maybe its the pictures im using. very nice! Try changing the resolution,brightness/contrast,I have found that by doing this I can make a decal out of all most any picture This is one I made before I got my cutter, don't have a vector because I printed,traced, and hand cut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you etched the front of the mirror? I want to try this out( using a picture) as I have sandblasted some mirrors but reversed and from the back. What do you find works best for the contrast...I would imagine more is better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XLII-Guy 8 Posted January 13, 2011 I'm thinking greyscale the image, then use the "Posterize" effect in PS, save as high res jpg, then import into your favorite vector program for tracing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks stetson5331 I open the pic with ps and adjust brightness (turn down a little) contrast (up a little) resolution change to about 600 or so ,then use filter-sketch-stamp. some times I have to go back and fort adjusting things thanks for the comments Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
