Working with Black Granite – Adjusting a Picture of the Eagles

Adjusting a Picture of the Eagles

In this example we will be lasering an image of an eagle onto black laser tile. Figure 1 shows a photo that I bought off the Internet. I am using this image because I want to see what the effect of having our background image being a bit out of focus and to see how it appears on the tile.

Figure 1 shows us the original image I bought off the Internet for $3

First of all we need to convert out image to grayscale in CorelDraw. To do this go to IMAGE | MODE | GRAYSCALE.

With our image in grayscale we need to adjust the image with out Contrast Enhancement. To access the Contrast Enhancement command go to EFFECTS | ADJUST | CONTRAST ENHANCEMENT.
