Hi Mike--Does this version support the Sony RX100?

Hi Liz,

This one:
R1 - IT 8.7/2 Reflective Scanner Target on Kodak Professional paper.

OK, I will email Mike. Thanks.

Liz

Hi Terry,

I looked at the Wolf Faust website that sells these (http://www.targets.coloraid.de/); would I buy the C1 target?

And Mike--if you're reading this--are you on board with my doing this?

Also--is there anything I can do to help create a color profile to be available here for RX100 users?
You need an IT8 target like the one show attached below. They are not very expensive if ordered from Wolf Faust in Germany; that is where Mike gets his from for Profile Prism. He would probably sell you one too.
Once you have a target you need to e-mail Mike (DDI support) for full instructions on how to take the photograph of the target. It's not difficult but Mike's guidelines must be followed. You then send the image to Mike, he makes a profile and you get it free.

Hi--

So I bought and downloaded the latest version of Q.U. I was able to do something with a RAW image from the Sony RX100. However, it appeared washed in green, which I was partially able to remove, while my Olympus XZ-1 RAW images never appeared tinted even before doing RAW refinement. So I assume this tint is a function of the RX100's not yet being supported.

I know that dcraw does support this camera now, so I am wondering-- any idea when it will be supported by Q.U.?

Also--is there anything I can do to help create a color profile to be available here for RX100 users?

Thanks.

Fred, you are so kind.

Can you imagine what the world would be like if it were commonplace to hear people say to one another, "Let me put it this way, we are standing by if you need any help"?

I'm sure you're right, Fred-- I just needed a "valid" reason to do it!

On a related note, if I uninstall Qimage Studio will I be uninstalling the printing jobs that I saved, or anything else I will regret?

Never mind! I just read another post that answered my question about updates. I guess it's time to buy Ultimate!

Hi--I use Qimage Studio, and though I tried Ultimate I realized that Studio is more than enough for my needs. But then I got a new, not-yet-supported camera, the Sony RX100.

Mike, will support for RAW images from the Sony RX100 be added to Studio? At this point Studio sort of sees them, but it loads up a green tinted image. ACR just released a beta version which supports the camera, so I know the image isn't green.

I am wondering if I will have to upgrade to Ultimate if I want to use RAW editing with images taken with the Sony RX100?

Thanks for all you do,

Liz

Thanks. I will do that, but I think I know the steps: I have cleaned the heads multiple times, and still get faint banding, and the feed is becoming slightly erratic. There is a local Epson printer repair place (Mardek--they are great), and I can try them, too, but with printer #1 the cost of replacing the parts was about as high as the cost of a new printer...

Hi,

It's been a while since I've posted here. I've been a happy Qimage user for years, and a happy Epson Photo Stylus R800 user for about as long. I love that printer so much that when my first one died, I bought a refurbished replacement from Epson--that was probably a year or two ago. Now that one is showing signs of frailty, and I am starting to think about what's next. I wish I could use my existing store of cartridges, but I realize that only another obsolete model (the R1800, I think) uses the same ones. So I realize I have to give that up.

I don't need 13" width, particularly, but it's okay if that's a feature, and I don't need wireless. I do want a printer that prints great quality photos as well as decent text--it's my one printer. I don't need fax/scanning capabilities. I am open to Canon printers, but not HP, for complicated reasons I don't want to go into here.

I see that Mike has the R1900. Thoughts about that? Others?

I am not a professional; I'd like to stay under $450 if possible..........

Thanks!

Thanks to both of you. I am quite comfortable with Vista, but I always like to know what's up with these newfangled operating systems!

As for Mac, I now own an iPod Touch, after being a Palm user for years. I can totally see why folks fall in love with the esthetics of Macs--they are sooooo cute!

I don't think I'll ever go Mac, although with Windows 7, I came close!   Shocked

Mike

Why, Mike? Does Windows 7 seem to be awful in some way?

Liz

Oh, I just found your article on the fun you had installing Windows 7.  I think I'll stay with Vista, since it is properly behaving for me!

Okay, I replaced the low ink cartridges and cleaned the print heads. Results--the color is now as it should be!

Thanks, gurus.

Okay, thanks-- I'll see what these changes do. The shift is only minimal, but I was curious about the whys.
