We provide a good starting point for learning the basics of LightBurn here, [Redirecting...](https://lightburnsoftware.github.io/NewDocs/BeginnerWalkthrough.html)

In fact, all the documentation and videos on our [YouTube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-TdV9ThMD6E4MZztA6eZsQ/videos) are worth review, to help with understanding. 🙂

That depends on your definition of “image”. If raster image, we offer the ability to trace it to produce vectors from the original, you can edit its contrast, brightness, edge enhance, enhance denoise (Enhance is also often referred to as “Unsharp masking”), as well as a masking tool, to mention a few.

For vector-based art, LightBurn provides tools to assist with both simple and complex drawing and editing tasks. If you provide a bit more detail, we can pinpoint and direct our answers more directly. 🙂
