How-to Tutorial
Step 1
Cut Wooden plaque to size. For this effort it was 5.5 inches wide by 7 inches tall. Position the Bible quote at the top of the wooden plaque. leaving enough room at the bottom for your portrait.
After bible verse is burned open a new project for the portrait. I did 2 layers for this. One the family portrait engraved as a picture.
Next I imported a Silouhette of the family portrait. I did this in Gimp setting a threshold under color settings. You should be able to do the same if you have another photo editing software. I have instruction on how to do this in my coin how-to project found here:
Import the silouhette image into project and select trace image. You should now get only the outline of the image. Place it around your photo layer so as to outline the whole image. This will cut out your image once done engraving it.
