First thing I did was to import a high quality image with my dog cut out. After importing the image you will need to crop and size it to fit your canvas size. The next step is to convert the image to black and white. With the now black and white image adjust the image contrast and sharpness. The last and most important adjustment is to invert the image. Your image is now ready for engraving! The rest is adding text or any other personal touches to the project before you engrave your canvas.
