So there is now way to create a bevel within Qimage to make it look like it has a matt on top of the image?
You would do it the way Terry posted: with a cutout. You can use one of the included ones or create your own. Double click on an image to open it in the editor and then click "Cutout" to open the cutouts and pick one. Here's a ZIP file with a few user-created bevel cutouts that were created through the years. You can take these files and put them in the Qimage cutouts folder: in Qimage, click Utilities, Browse Qimage Application Data, go to the Cutouts folder, and put the images in the ZIP in that folder.

Do you have a video for this? If not I have a simple white border around my photo now how do I make it look like a bevel so it looks like a real matt?
Not being able to see what you want, you mentioned a black line so... why don't you use an outer border of .01 with a black color? For example, let's say your existing white border is 1/4 inch. Keep your inner border set to .25 with a color of white and your outer border to .01 with a color of black. That way you'll get a thin black line around the whole thing. If you want to get more complicated than that and do something like a frame, you could add a cutout in the image editor. Mike

All of these can be done with either photo mats, borders, or a combination of both. Do you have an example of what you want to do? Then I could better guide you to which feature is most appropriate.

Technical Discussions / Printers / Re: Qimage not recognizing printer

Qimage doesn't recognize printers in such a way: that is deferred to Windows. Like Photoshop, Lightroom, Affinity, and all other Windows software that is not RIP based, it relies on the Windows printer driver. So if you install a Windows driver for the printer, Qimage will automatically see it (through Windows). If there is no Windows driver available, you cannot use Qimage to print to that printer.

There's no difference between how the unclog jobs print and how your normal images print other than the unclog job maybe being a smaller spool size. That tells me you might be having trouble with the old outdated driver. Click the AI Copilot button on the top of the main UI, turn off all Driver AI options, and then open the driver settings by holding the Shift key while clicking on the "Properties" button to open the driver. Make settings in the driver and try a print. Don't try to open old jobs or saved printer setups as those could have incompatible settings.
You can also try enabling print preview in the driver and see if the Epson preview shows what you expect (but it doesn't print). If that's the case, the driver is the issue.

I can't really diagnose image-specific issues remotely so if you want to put the image (or a few images) in question on Google Drive or something and give a link, I can take a look and see if I can repeat the problem.

Hi Gary,
9000 x 6000 is relatively small: only about 160 MB. Double that if it's 16 bits/channel which is still pretty small. Qimage can handle images 6-12 times that size easily.
So I wonder, what format are these images: TIFF, PSD, etc?
Also, do they have layers? Sometimes layers can cause issues and flattening images will prevent problems. I don't think it's the naming convention. It's probably just the order in which they are accessed along with some incompatibility with layers.
Regards, Mike

Mike's Software / Qimage Ultimate Wish List / Re: Shared Job Log
|
on: April 15, 2024, 02:49:10 PM

Are all your images on the network? A shared job log doesn't typically work well on two computers because a lot of the time each computer has its own local photos. If everything is being done on the network I suppose you could set your Qimage application data folder to the same network location on both computers. Then everything from thumbnails to saved jobs, job logs, printer setups, etc. could be shared. You'd have to be careful choosing a network location as the application data folder, however, because it can have negative side effects. For example, network folders are orders of magnitude slower than local drives. And if it isn't available for any reason, it can cause crashes.

Hi Mike, are u planning to add GPU support for image display? its been quiet on the release front for a while
No. There would be little to no benefit to using the GPU to just display images. Been pretty quiet on the camera and printer front too so not a lot of new stuff to support. I'm working on the next paradigm shift in print quality but some of the work is dependent on third party tools so I'm at the mercy of other companies before I can implement them. We've reacjed a local maximum with respect to print quality but these new tools will change that and allow us to leap forward. It's just going to take some time. Mike
