So I want to preface this comment with the fact that your tile looks fantastic. NWT method is not an easy skill to master. That said, I'm looking at your "Setting 1" section and see an issue. When you process an image with Imag-R, choosing one of those settings such as the Norton setting, those settings determine the dithering pattern. When you then import the photo into Lightburn, you want to select "passthrough" for the image. The reason for this is that if you don't enable passthrough, you are effectively "double-dithering" the image. First with Norton, then with Stucki based on the Bitmap Mode shown above. Now, I don't know if you're forced to choose a Bitmap Mode here or not, but you will definitely get better photo results with Passthrough enabled for the image layer. For clarification on this project, I'd recommend adding the "enable passthrough" in the image layer step. Other than that, everything here is on-point and I think Nicky himself would be pretty proud of your result.

Can you share a specific engraving example with design files, basic information, settings and steps that would be more conducive to our understanding?

added a step showing the final product using a tile that was engraved with the image generated, and the settings used. there are no design files since you use the file you generate in the tutorial to engrave.

@ronThis how-to was missing the final engraving example at first, but now it's been added, great. Check the rules to make sure you get points in the future. https://community.xtool.com/#/discussion/detail/184
