Photo preparation

Before & After

These examples explain what happens when you send us a photo: we turn it into engraving-ready artwork that will burn cleanly on wood, slate, ceramic, or mirror.

What we adjust

We tidy the image, improve contrast, remove distracting backgrounds where practical, and convert the important detail into a black and white or greyscale-style artwork.

Proof before production

Every photo is different, so results vary depending on lighting, sharpness, and background. We prepare the file for the best practical engraving result and send a digital proof before engraving.

Best source images

Clear, well-lit photos with the subject in focus work best. If you are unsure, send what you have and we will advise before production.
