Mcam Art

[JDowe]

Using Art in X2 to work with photos - is there

software or a scanner to make the images smooth

or smuged enough to get reasonable surfaces for

engraving - but so that faces can retain enough

features and detail to be recognizable

Thanks for any info

Try using the "Create New Base Surface from Image". Just remember the quality on the screen is controlled on the 2nd parameter tab. Setting the value higher will result in a better screen image BUT, it will also affect the system performance in moving the image around, etc. The part will cut OK even if the image you see isn't as high quality as you imagine.

Also if you are using a Color photo I suggest if you can to take it into photo software and change the color resolutions from like 32bit to 16 bit or try changing to some sort of grey scale this will get you better detail.

You can actually control some image by these means prior to bringing the image in.

By the way:

Is Mastercam Art an active, still developed/maintained add-on?

There is a Mastercam Art option available in the full MC2018 install package, so I would say yes it's still maintained

Whether it's getting any new development or not, I have no idea

[Jayson Kramer]

It is still an option. not a lot of development in a while some but not a lot.
