Hi Fred,

thank you for the reply. I'm keen to stay with LR (for now) as i've set workflow for imports and applying lens corrections and such, but i would like to know more of Qimage and how that could help. I'm fairly certain that when i go with Qimage, it will begin to eat away at how i use LR and evetualy take over but i think that will be a long process. To do it all at once would be too many parameters for my head to cope with!

Cheers.

Morning All,

New to Qimage (and DSLR and Printing) and i'm wondering if i have the correct workflow for my set up.

Canon 500D
Lightroom 3.2
Qimage Ultimate (trial)
Canon Pixma Pro 9000 MkII
Canon original Inks
Canon Premium Photo Paper II A3

I use Lightroom 3.2 to import my RAW images, i normally look at white balance and Lens correction and have set up Qimage as an external editor. When i'm ready to print i select external edit and pass the 'edited' file to Qimage. I seem to remember the settings were Tiff and 600DPI.

I pass the image to Qimage (which takes an age) set up my paper, check the printer driver is set up correctly (ie let Qimage mange the print) and then print the file to Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark II. The images are very good, but i'm wondering if this is the optimum workflow for my set up and whether creating Tiff is causing the long delay between selecting external editor in Lightroom and the image being available in Qimage.

Thanks for any help with this.
