FA 10W Optical laser only etching negative

I’ve been attempting to etch a photo image on wood. I’ve done it before, however, that was a 5 w laser. No matter what I do the image etches negative, faces are dark and blacks are white/light. I’ve trying to use the negative toggle switch in properties but there is no change. I’ve tried etching the same image with a positive and negative version at the same time. I’ve changed power, speed etc. but the faces always come out dark. I’m in Jarvis mode. I’ve tried everything I can think of. Looking for thoughts or suggestions. As I said I’ve etched images before but not this particular picture.2025-01-10T05:00:00Z
I have a picture of some attempts but don’t where I can upload that here.

Thanks for any help.

Just drag and drop them in the Reply box.


The first and last images are the same but with different speed and power. The middle one is a negative image.

Maybe you have something set in the C00.
Place your images in another Layer and test again.
