Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this a replacement for CorelDRAW or other graphic layout software?

A: No, this is photo processing software that should be used for photos. Use Corel or another software package for more complicated graphic layouts after the photo is processed through this software.

Q: Why isn't my photo engraved into wood coming out as well as Epilog's?

A: Are you using the wood setting developed by Epilog? We use this for 100% of our wood photography and it provides exceptional results when engraving into wood. Download the settings above!

Q: I'm using Epilog's wood setting, but I'm seeing an obvious dot pattern when I engrave the photo.

A: You aren't running a photo resized to 600 dpi. Before processing the photo with the Epilog Wood Setting, go to Image/Image Size and change the photo size to 600 dpi, then hit apply.
