New laser module user - getting started... Testing by importing a picture (tried JPG & BMP), I'm able to create & run a 'Laser Picture' toolpath successfully. But I find that if I use the Edit Picture tool to modify Contrast/Brightness/Gamma, and/or Add Border, it appears the image ceases to be a bitmap and I no longer can create the Laser Picture toolpath ("No bitmap selected"). What am I missing?
Thanks!

Re: Laser Module - Laser Picture Toolpath
Have you watched the tutorial videos below?
Do you have the bitmap level selected when trying to make the tool path?

Re: Laser Module - Laser Picture Toolpath
Just tried it and it works fine for me after editing the picture. The only way I can get the No Bitmap message to appear is if, as Scott says, I don't select the bitmap before calculating the toolpath.
