Real work, real failure cost
Built around the people who pay for a bad output
The useful product is not the model call. It is the review loop that catches a reversed field, a noisy border, or an impossible relief before the next tool turns that mistake into wasted time.

See the relief before committing to a finished gift.
01
Choose a photo with two readable faces
A wedding photo can be beautiful and still be a poor relief source. Tiny faces in a wide venue, veils that merge into a background, and harsh directional light all make the depth estimate less reliable. Choose a frame where both faces are large enough to read at the final plaque size and neither face is turned away from the camera.
If the best photo has a distracting background, crop it before upload. If one face is much closer to the camera than the other, inspect the 3D preview carefully; the relief may exaggerate that difference. A gentle three-quarter view is usually easier than a dramatic profile.
02
A couple plaque is not a portrait studio
The model sees one view. It cannot reconstruct the side of a face that is hidden, and it may soften the boundary between two people who are standing close together. That is a limitation of single-image depth, not a setting you can fix with more contrast. Check the boundary between the two faces and the shoulders in the preview.
If the couple wants a highly accurate likeness, a photographed scan or a sculpted relief is a better process. The workbench is for a recognizable, well-composed plaque, not for a forensic portrait. Setting that expectation before the gift is commissioned protects everyone.
03
Design the plaque around the material
A wedding keepsake is often small enough to sit on a shelf or hang on a wall. Wood, slate, and cast stone each behave differently. A shallow relief over a solid base is easier to finish and less likely to chip than a deep, fragile carving. Decide the material before you choose the relief height.
Add names, dates, and a frame in a model editor if the design calls for them. The workbench provides the photo relief; it does not create lettering or a hanging feature. Check that every added element joins the plaque and that the back is flat enough to mount.
04
Proof before the date
Wedding gifts have a hard deadline. Build a buffer into the schedule: approve the preview, make a test piece, then produce the final. If the couple is not available to approve, ask someone they trust to review the crop and the expression. A surprise is not worth a portrait that misses the mark.
Keep the source photo, the exported files, and the material record together. If the gift is duplicated for a family member, the same starting point makes the second piece consistent with the first. The free preview is the approval; the production bundle is the file you keep.
Five bounded stages
A file moves forward only after it earns approval
- 1
Inspect
Check source contrast, edge detail, border clutter, and resolution before an AI call is trusted.
- 2
Shape
Adjust the subject mask, background, curve, detail, smoothing, taper, frame, and real dimensions for free.
- 3
Check
Compare beam or tool size, tonal slices, slope, base, manifold topology, and bounding box with the real setup.
- 4
Approve
Approve one successful production job only after the free 2D and 3D previews earn acceptance.
- 5
Transfer
Download one verified ZIP and inspect it in LightBurn, CAM, or a slicer before committing production material.

Straight answers
Questions before you commit a file
Can the plaque show two people?
Yes, if both faces are clear and large enough at the final size. Inspect the boundary between the faces in the 3D preview. The model cannot recover a hidden side of a face.
Can I add the wedding date and names?
Not in the workbench. Add lettering in a model editor after export and verify that it joins the plaque. Keep the text shallow enough for the material.
Which material works best?
Wood is forgiving and easy to finish; slate gives a darker, higher-contrast look; stone is heavier and less tolerant of deep, abrupt relief. Test the actual material before the final piece.
Is the preview really free?
Yes. You can upload a photo, tune the depth, inspect the 3D preview, and download a free 8-bit PNG and preview STL. The production bundle costs one credit.
