'''How-to'''
 
'''How-to - a worked example'''
 
Let's say you have this charming picture of a cake to begin with:
 
[[File:220px-Strawberry_Cake.JPG]]
 
So you feed it to the script at the URL at the top of this page, and the script will give you back 8 files numbered 0 to 7.
 
So first, laze number 7 at full power (whatever you've decided that should be for your material).
 
[[File:220px-Strawberry_Cake_7.JPG]]
 
Then laze number 6 at half power:
 
[[File:220px-Strawberry_Cake_6.JPG]]
 
Then number 5 at quarter power:
 
[[File:220px-Strawberry_Cake_5.JPG]]
 
and so on and so forth, halving the power each time.
 
4

1
 
[[File:220px-Strawberry_Cake_1.JPG]]
 
0
 
[[File:220px-Strawberry_Cake_0.JPG]]
 
Then report back here to let us know how it went!
 
An alternative would be to double the speed each time, rather than halving the power. Would be interesting to see tests for both methods on the same image.
