Passthough what does it do and how to find

[onetexasoldman (Larry)]

I’ve been reading alot on the forums about using the passthrough after using imagR. I can’t find it in lightburn and what does it do?
new at this

If you use pass through, lightburn will not do any processing to the image and send it as imported from imageR or any other program used to adjust the image.

Thanks found it looked all over for it yesterday
So what format to download from imagR and when should I use this pass through? sorry for being so dumb I’m old haha
I’ve watched alot of the you tube videos and guess I missed this one

I usual use the png. But I find I can get as good of an image just using lightburn. Takes a few more steps, but to each there own.

One of the greatest tools we have is the Internet. When you have issues like this, see what Lightburn says about it.

Could have saved yourself a day of frustration by typing

lightburn passthrough in any search engine…

Good luck

I’m all for helping those in need but it’s astounding how many questions are asked here where the answer in the online documentation.

No offence to the specific gentleman in this post as he’s just one of many that do this.
The bigger problem is the time it takes for staff to review and weed out already answered questions when they could be doing further developments in the already fabulous software.
