Thanks, that helped a lot. Now I just need practice. I find with the pandemic I'm not shooting as much as I used to because I don't go out and about as much. Probably need to do some old fashioned table-top photography. CH

No problem with profiles or printing, just the editing of colors. I think I'm used to pre-bottled functions in my other programs like "vibrancy", which doesn't seem to be the same thing as saturation. There are also sliding hue adjustments I use quite often. Qimage works on a more fundamental level, which I like, but I can't always duplicate what those other programs do.

I check in here one or two times a day and it's sure quiet! I've been trying to do as much of my image processing in Qimage as possible, thus my recent question on cropped sizes. I was doing that elsewhere, but it's one more thing where I don't have to. My next learning needs to be on color adjustment. I'm just not up to speed there and need to watch some tutorials.

Close, but I don't want to crop to a specific pixel dimension. I set the crop ratio as you describe, then crop what I need. At that point it's probably some much higher resolution than the HD format I'm going for. I was hoping to crop and resample in a single step. I can certainly save the file and then resample in a second go around, but I keep looking at the resolution boxes and thinking, there must be some way!

Mike's Software / Qimage Ultimate / Resize cropped area
|

Is there a way to resize the cropped area to specific numbers? Say I crop to HD proportions and want to resample such that the cropped area is exactly 1920x1080. Obviously the entire image will be whatever it turns out to be, but I don't care about that when I export my file.

FWIW, I use Profile Prism with my PRO-100 and Red River paper. IMO, the profiles I get are better than the Red River ones for the same printer. My scanner is an old Epson 4490 photo.

I'd like to add that all this stuff is highly image dependent. My criteria is, "does it look natural?" That comment was made in the video about the grass and that's where the tone filter is great. It's easy for some things to take on a harsh or wax museum look if you go too far. If the images are very good to begin with, DFS (with no tone filter) numbers beyond about 2/100 give problems. I have images where 2/50 is about the limit before I start to see problems when pixel peeping. OTOH, on other images I go way beyond that, so there's really no general rule. Experiment!

Mike's Software / Qimage Ultimate / Windows 10 Nightlight Feature
|
on: June 01, 2020, 11:34:05 AM
|
Just curious- would it be possible for Qimage to turn off the Windows nightlight feature, then turn it back on again when done? Depending on the adjustment, the nightlight can really mess up color balance if you don't realize it's on.

Mike's Software / Qimage Ultimate / Out-of-gamut for monitors?
|
on: May 22, 2020, 07:48:01 PM
|
Maybe a dumb question, but since we check for out-of-gamut for the printer, can the same thing be done for monitors? I'm pretty sure my PRO-100 covers a wider range than my sRGB monitor, at least in some directions.
