Every relief needs an edge.

Raised or recessed — you choose the polarity

Relief Polarity decides whether light areas of the depth map stay raised and dark areas engrave deeper, or the reverse — the same polarity setting that governs the Height Map export and the Interactive 3D preview. Combined with a bezel width and rim style, you can go from a flat depth map to a finished-looking medallion mockup without leaving the console.

Match the export resolution to the laser that will engrave it

Sized coin and coaster presets have their own Coin/Coaster Export Resolution control, separate from the source image's own resolution — because a physical-size preset needs a real, deliberate pixel density, not whatever the source photo happened to be shot at. A laser's spot size caps how much detail it can actually resolve (DPI ≈ 25.4 ÷ spot size in mm): CO₂ and diode lasers typically resolve somewhere in the 150–300 DPI range, while a fiber laser marking a metal blank can resolve far finer detail, so 500–600+ DPI is the better match if that's how the piece will actually be made.

Changing the resolution re-locks the current physical size at the new pixel count, and it only affects sized presets — Original Flat Panel and the unsized rim-only presets (Standard/Thin/Wide) keep the source image's own resolution exactly as before.
