No engraving — outlines only

Trace exactly what's highlighted

On: the cut line follows the highlighted area as shown. Off: shadow peeling and swoop smoothing reshape the edge.

Fuzziness 30 (how different a color can be and still get picked by Pull, Magic and Remove background)

Ignore what's around the design

Drop speckled texture (granite, gravel, towel weave)Drop clutter touching the photo edge (counter, table)Shave fuzzy fibres off the edges (off for very thin script)Keep only the design (every part of it) and drop far-off clutter

Iron out surface texture off (paper towel weave, fabric, grain — ink edges stay sharp)

Holes are never filled. Only fibre shaving touches the edges of kept pieces.

Layers

Artwork (gets cut)

Surface / paper (drag to trash)

Trash the surface

Even out lighting 0 (shadows, uneven light, dark counter; 0 = off)

Pull out an object

Cut the whole object as one solid shape (off = only the artwork inside it)

Object edge smoothing 2

Close small gaps 0 px (0 = off; joins pieces that almost touch)

Brush size 18

Pull / magic / background tolerance 30

What counts as artwork

Uses overall brightness. Try By colour for photos.

Threshold 50

Contrast 1.0×

Invert (cut the light parts)

Soften edges 0 (0 = crisp)

Clean up noise 0 (can close tight holes)

Fill small holes 0 px (0 = keep every hole)

Show vector cut line on the canvas

Corner rounding 55% (low = sharp points)

Edge smoothing 0 (0 = exact pixels)

Curve smoothness 0.4 (higher = cleaner, longer curves)

Design width (mm) — exact size of the traced design in xTool

Kerf: cut lines (mm)

Kerf: holes (mm)

Your laser's beam width (often 0.1–0.2 mm). Parts grow and holes shrink by half of it so they cut true size. 0 = off.
