Two of origianal photos very old and faded. Picture of DIL recent photo, much better resolution. I spent much time playing with Adjust setting. Not unlike playing musical chairs; I do not have an eye for color.

      I see you’re dithering, which is a great approach for these.
      A couple of things to try… Let’s get the dark, darker… :slight_smile:
      If you dissolve some baking soda into water and spray your wood first, then let it dry, the engraving usually comes out a lot darker. It’ll be less likely to warp if you spray both sides.
      Because dithering dots are full-on or full-off and because human eyes are not, you have to pull the dark side down, and reduce the contrast a little, to get the middle ranges back.
      Hover over the image, right click and select ‘Adjust Image’.
