Diamond Etch and Photos
DIAMOND ETCHES
Our diamond etches begin with a photo. The image is digitally processed and edited to be black and white, and some or all of the background is removed. We convert the file to a format that our diamond etch machine can understand – and the machine responds by etching the image into the granite with a diamond-tipped stylus. These images are permanent and will not fade.
​
Diamond etches can be done with any kind of image. Portraits and meaningful/symbolic pictures are most commonly chosen. We recommend choosing images that are bold and high quality, noting that digital images are easier to work with than paper photographs.
COLORED PHOTOS
​
These types of monument photos are more commonly chosen if:
-
You are using paper photos or the image is low quality
-
The background in the photo is important
-
You simply want to keep the color of the original picture
