Hello all, Over from the Rhino forum, working with PhotoShop and MeshCam to convert an image into g-code for engraving/carving. The attached image has a very heavy shadow on the right side, I need to remove this so the image looks like the left side overall. I've been playing for the past week to get it removed. But cant come up with anything satisfying. I use a program called "MeshCam" to convert JPEG's and BMP files to G-code so my CNC machine can carve or engrave to image into tile or wood. Meshcam will make a it's surface height based on the level of grey. So if you can understand that. You can see that the right side of the image is going to be really flat. If I can remove the shadow. I can successfully invert the image and create my MeshCam file.
