If you already have a program which generates G-Code you can directly load the G-Code file in the “Workspace” tab. Then AFAIR it gets printed as is.

If xou only use GIMP and other image programs though you probably end up with a bitmap based image file. Then you will always need another tool to convert it to G-Code the machine understands.

See [A250 laser engrave & cut](https://forum.snapmaker.com/t/a250-laser-engrave-cut/6904) : Basically it’s possible by adding multiple objects to Luban and then setting the Laser settings separately for each object.
