The first thing I do is put the image in Photoshop change the image to grayscale then invert and then change the resolution to 400 then save it to the hard drive. Open lightburn then open the image When you put the image into lightburn you want to flip the image to where I look backwards to you. Then change to mm/min. In the settings I run at 3000 speed and 70 in power. But you can start off with 50 in power and go up in power to where you like it. I use the Atkinson for most of my work. Set your dpi to 318 and change your settings for shading to shade Individually then then in your viewer make sure you have the middle button turn on. Then start.
