I think gelatin is too soft to be carved like that. The lithophane that I
have seen didn't seem to be photo processed. It think it is hand-carved (on
the soft porcelain before it is fired).

Dave and All , Thank you for comparison , what could be done to get carving
like relief from gelatin block. Is it more expose or more sensitizer.
Are those two damage the sharpness ?

And for photopolymers , what is the color of photopolymer , is it
transparent or opaque or colored , half transparent. What is the maximum
depth of relief of photopolymers. I need the brand , product and suppliers
list.

Thank you,
Umut
