How do you output a preview and it look like finished?

Post by The Metal Peddler » Tue Jul 20, 2010 6:20 pm

Here is my problem. We have 6 charms we need a picture of, for a wrap on a truck. A finished charm 3/4 of an inch looks good, but enlarged to 8 to 10 inches looks ragged.

Is there a propram that will do a preview in that looks like 14K yellow gold or silver that can be saved as a j peg or bmp file for printing?

Thanks for any input or help,
Jay

Check out this post thread, it may give your some help, as for printing from 3D engrave I don't think there is a way that I have heard of yet.

My understanding is you need to design in another program to get rendering capabilities.

IF you hear different, please let me know?

From what your saying here, you already have the finished charms to photograph...
...if so, then you'd need to take photos with a really good camera that has a high number of mega-pixels.
That way you can capture the detail & blow it up huge without it becoming as "ragged".

The other option might be to get a Professional Photographer in to do the shots for you.

HTH, Colin

Thanks for the responses. We will get it figured out.

A wrap for a truck is pretty much a big sticker. It will be a bill board in the parking lot during the day and a driving bill board on trips or to and from work.

Will post a pic when it is finished.

Thanks Again,
Jay
