Haven't made a profile for a while, but isn't there an included job for that?

OT, but his wet process book Post Exposure is excellent if you do that sort of thing, plus his books on digital restoration of photos are as good as they come. Big fan of the man.

I see mon1 as maybe reddish, but more correct and pleasing. Mon2 seems to have a subtle greenish cast. As said, if the printer is properly profiled for the paper and working correctly, it's the reference. The monitor should be adjusted to match the printer, not the other way 'round.

Great stuff! Also really appreciate that you do the videos just for me with my PRO-100.  Grin

It fixed the resolution check box- I never even knew that box existed!

I also run my computer 24/7, but I can't believe a printer would have a clog problem in 2 weeks of non-use.

Ah! Now it works. Never knew you could do this. It seems my Nikon Z6 saves a full res jpg in the raw. Makes me wonder if I'm just wasting space by saving it separately in the camera? OTOH, it's not that much space.

I'm not seeing this as an option. Only works on some raws or no longer supported?

This isn't photographic printing but might still be of interest. I use a 2D CAD program called Visual CADD. It's a descendent of the old Generic CADD, brought up to modern Windows standards. I've used it forever and like it a lot. One of the things I draw and print are targets. Things like lens resolution targets and various targets read by photo sensors in products at work. The last targets I printed were only 1 1/2" diameter, with small circles within, about 1/16". Under mild magnification, or even with a sharp eye, the little circles weren't quite round, but were polygons. Turns out the program doesn't print at full printer resolution, just what they think is good enough, which is a bit of a bummer in my application.

Qimage to the rescue! I was able to reduce my grid of targets in CAD down to one circle. I could then export that circle at about 3000 x 3000 as a jpeg file. In Qimage I was able to scale it correctly and recreate the grid of multiple targets on a single page. Off to the PRO-100 it went. Perfect beautiful circles, even under a strong hand lens.

Qimage- it ain't just for pretty pictures!

These are raws and jpegs right from the camera, so no prior version involved. I do use somewhat weird settings in my raw preferences, mostly sharpening and noise shut off (zero, zero, off, off).

Nikon Z6.

Not even sure this is real, but I think I've noticed it twice. I create a directory and dump in a bunch of camera images, jpgs and raw. I launch Qimage and go to the directory and let the rendering stuff happen. At that point, if I hover over an image or use the exif viewer, the aperture and focal lengths come up zero for all images. Other data is there. Closing Qimage and relaunching doesn't fix it. Then (I think) I do a raw refine on one image. After that the exif data shows up for all images. Am I crazy or can you reproduce this? Not sure it even matters, since I invariably refine and/or edit.

If there's a product, software or anything else, with better or more dedicated support than Qimage, I've never found it!

Thanks,

And then, some days ago, it fixed itself. Another of life's mysteries!

Minor thing but every other forum I use has the name and password automatically entered. This one always comes up blank until I click on the line and choose the entries from the dropdown box. I'm using Chrome and Speed Dial 2, though I wouldn't think that would matter.
