Looking for some help on this one…
I used VectorWitch to convert some photographs to an SVG file. When I convert in VectorWitch it turns out great and looks very close to the photo in regards to detail. When I save it and bring it into LightBurn it comes in as if already traced…something that is not able to be burned. Can someone tell me what I may be doing wrong. Below is the SVG before in goes into LightBurn and then once I open it up in Ligthburn…Any help would be appreciated
You need to upload the actual SVG file. If it will not let you, add .txt to the filename.
Mike, Thanks for the quick response….the file is an SVG file prior to opening in LightBurn…
I know, but we can do nothing with the first JPG image file you uploaded. At least it shows as that when I try to download it. Sometimes whan I mouse over an image, the filename will include SVG.
If we have the SVG, we can mess with it to see if we can get the results you are after.
It looks as though it’s already done the tracing, although the resulting vectors have shading that a laser cannot reproduce in Line mode.
The doc has a caveat:
Use caution with AI-generated files
