First time testing the curved surface setting on the laser...and it was on a friend's quite expensive flask for a wedding gift. No pressure, right? Fortunately, I figured it out, first shot... because you only get one try at these things.

Question for ya...to AI or not to AI?

As a general rule, I don't use AI images. I understand the appeal, it would take ages and require the optimal space to create perfectly staged lifestyle images.

So what's your opinion about AI images? A nice way to dress up an image or inauthentic?
