Lasermatic mk2 30w
These were almost all run at 17,000mm/m using Jarvis dithering. Power and DPI varried.

Do you think the dragonfly/flowers could benefit by highlighting/brightening the flower petals a bit. Im only going by memory, but weren’t the previous versions a bit more 3d.

The fish and mountains are working very well and the size increase seems to help.

The reason they looked better in my previous test is because i was using grayscale mode. These tests are to see if i could get reasonable quality at much higher speeds than grayscale mode allows. It is a thought, but not sure I’m qualified to try to lighten just the flowers. The original image is insanely detailed.

I hear you. Getting certain areas to how you want them also adjusts areas that are ok.

Perhaps using the Trace, Points, Scissors, Nodes and Layers aproach will yield some results but other than that I think image adjustment in specific areas is perhaps the ony way and that probably means having to use specific software.

The time issue is a major factor when using greyscale and I do wonder if the choice of material plays a part, as in harder wood and tighter grain which would change the price point of a finished product but time taken and value of outcome are more balanced when the quality is high.

Definitely hardwood would make a huge difference. This is just cheap basswood plywood.
