“VIDEO COMING SOON HERE”
See! That was easy! Now lets checkout the user Interface.
Da Big Gimping Plugin V4 User Interface Explained.
Everything will be done right here within the plug-in unless you are removing the background of a photo by filling the background 100% white.
- select & open a photo of your choice.
- Select the process determined by the lens you’re using (I prefer the 1.5″ lens and processes for the most realistic photos)
- Set the DPI to 400DPI as the MINIMUM but do experiment going higher.
- Set the size you would like your image to be in “mm’s”
- Press OK and wait for the automated processing to finish.
- Save the image by using the top menu “file”>”export as” I prefer exporting as .Tiff with zero compression or .Jpg but if using .Jpg pay attention on the next screen to use the slider to bring it up to 100 quality and then press save default and it’ll remember that part from now on.
- Import the newly processed photo into your laser software and do not scale it to a different size. Now if you’re using lightburn you will activate “Pass Thru Mode” or in Rdworks check the “Output Direct Box”
- Send the processed photo to your laser and work on finding the best settings and your photos will shine!

Thanks Sean… I’ve been trying to figure out how to process photos myself for laser engraving for the last 3 or 4 months. I’ve watched peoples videos, read tutorials, tried to replicate their results in GIMP without success. I’ve tried the 1Touch Laser Photo software and did have decent results on wood with that but not great results on painted tile. Finally got around to buying this script and WOW, it’s blowing me away. It’s so much easier to just have to figure out speed and power settings for each material than it was trying to process the photo on my own first. This product is well worth the cost, especially when the time and material wasted trying to figure out processing myself is factored in.

I have got an Etcher Laser and have been messing around trying to make images ready for ages.
I saw this plugin on a YouTube video and bought it right away. The output files it makes are amazing and etching them on to wood and tile is now so much easier.
The cost of the plugin is nothing, in comparison to the time lost messing around with settings and hoping to find a winning value.

Sean, brother the new update for Da Big Gimpin is so cool, I liked the V3 allot but the new update is upping the game for sure. Thanks

Sean, Great process, I was brand new to the laser world when I first ran across your incredible add on for Gimp, I also had just installed Gimp so learning it all at once was the task, you helped allot and once I got a handle on using both I was able to create some good tile projects. Many thanks and keep up the great work.

Before there was nothing but frustration in trying to get a quality image completed on glass. But then the v3 turned my frustration into joy. I love the ease of the scrip. Nothing like seeing that image come to live on the glass, not only that but now I know that my clients are truly getting the best quality they can get. Thank you for such an awesome product.
