LASERGRAPHICS Image guide/Preparation:
Almost any file type can be used when recording to CRT. Size is also not as critical. A decent quality positive or negative can be produced with 25% smaller file sizes. The LASERGRAPHICS software aids in the quality. It is best however the file be as big as possible. Recording quality-output is best when the file is 1:1. Files for CRT/LASERGRAPHICS can be: JPG, TIFF, PSD, PDF, EPS. If you are sending images from your digital camera, shoot in RAW. Save them as [convert]TIFF files. While a smaller file can produce CRT output, if you are going to project [slide projector, enlarged print] the image in any fashion, it is best you use the BIGGEST file-size.
