Trying to engrave pine wooden frame and engrave photo but settings not correct and keeps burning image when trying to engrave image. My image is in inches 8x8 and I tried setting the power at 60% and speed at 10 and it still keeps burning the image? need help and advise please. Should my image be in mm or what am I doing wrong to get the laser to burn in a light mode not so dark. Thank you Using a 10Watt ORTUR L42 Laser

      You basically only have 2 primary controls for burning: speed and power. If the image is overburning then reduce power or increase speed. Continue doing this until you get the burn level desired. If the burn is too light then increase power or reduce speed.
      Note that listing just a numeric value doesn’t given an indication of speed. The units are required. For diode lasers you typically want to work in mm/min. You can set this in Edit->Settings.
      If you haven’t already done so I’d suggest using the Laser Tools->Material Library to get a better understanding of the best settings for your specific laser and material.
