If you would like me to try and run an image of your choice through the programs I use for comparison purposes I will be happy to help.
For flat engraving I use photoshop, corel and paint. Corel is my standard as it makes everything easy and quick but paint 11 has some new vector features that really make designing engraving plates a snap. I vectorized a million dollar bill in about a days work with Corel.
For dimensional engraving like coins and jewelry I use Gravostyle.
It works off the shadows in the pic to set your depths.
I would be interested to see how the various packages stack up feature to feature on points like this. Send me whatever you want - provided its a clean pic.
