Now that you guys told me the answer to my question, it does seem pretty obvious.  I should have figured that one out. Thx Terry and Fred.
As a quick update, my learning curve is moving forward quite quickly now.  Prints are turning out great.  I'm sure I'll come up with so more lame questions, but, so far, I couldn't be more pleased with Qimage.   It's terrific.

Thanks for pointing that out.  I'm just amazed how well though out this program is!
I'm sure the more I look, the more I'll find.  Now, just learning to understand some of the new things will be the challenge, but that will be the fun part.

I was reading a post earlier this afternoon about using raw photos for printing.  I've been processing some raws with the Canon DPP 3.9 software than came with my 60D.  I never thought about printing them in raw format.   Gosh, I have a lot to learn!

Hi Fred,

That went very easy.  I'm not quite sure why or how I couldn't get there in the first place, but I'll go back and review the various steps I most likely took the first time and learn from my mistake.

I really appreciate your time and help.

I got the Ulitmate version, and I just can't tell how much I like it.   A bargain price and it is so easy to work with.   Seems like it will do anything, and I'm sure I've barely touched the surface of what it can do.

I'm retired and using photography as one of my retirement hobbies.   I just love it, but have a lot to learn, so you'll probably hear from me again and again.  Forums like this are great!!!!!!

Have a great day!   And thanks again.

Hi Everyone,   I’m brand new to Qimage.  Just bought it after a few days with the trial addition.   So far, most everything is going well.
I have a new Epson 1400 (now kind of wishing I had gone up a level or two on that choice) and initially came across various printing issues from various programs I was trying to print from on the new Epson.  ie: the pic wasn’t in the desired part of the sheet paper, partial images, over cropped, etc.
Then I started searching and found Qimage.  I’ve been through several of the help videos, and read some on the help menu topics.
But, I’m probably like most, I didn’t buy this to read and learn (even though I WILL do that in detail as time passes), I bought it to print pictures.
So keep in mind, the training wheels are not off yet, and my first impressions are great.  With very little trial and error, I was able to print multiple prints on letter size photo paper that appeared just where I expected them, printed a few 4x6 prints, both bordered and borderless, no problems, and the prints look terrific.  So I’m loving this!
But now, ready to go to my primary reason for buying this printer: large format printouts.  And here’s where the training wheels fell off.
Just for the record, I’m an amateur enthusiast, owned many different decent camera over the years, and just recently moved up to a mid level camera, the Canon 60D.  I'm really liking this camera so far!
So here’s where I’m doing something wrong.  On the main page, I go to printer/page setup, choose the Epson, choose Super B(13x19), landscape, prem photo paper and keep most everything else at its default.  I click on the plus of the thumbnail I want to print on the 13x19 paper.  I want the print to be 17x11 for a nice frame I have ready for the photo.
The single photo in the queue on mouse over, shows 14.67x11.  Seems like no big deal, I need to make the photo larger, and I have plenty of paper size to do so.  I click on Edit Page, and photo shows on paper size, with rulers on, as all the dimensions I’m expecting.  The auto cropping is enabled, so I grab a corner, expand size so I get 17 width, the height, staying with in 3:2 ratio, maxes out on the page.  Don’t care about that as long as I get the 17 width, as my nice paper cutter can lope off some of the top and bottom to get the correct height of 11 for the frame.  I adjust the zoom a little so I have the image (a car) right where I want it within the 17 width.  Everything looks perfect, hit print.  Preview page looks good.
I now have a gorgeous picture of my prize possession car.   However, the print size is approx. 9.5x6 inches on my SuperB 13x19 paper.  Not what I was expecting.
I will firmly reattach the “training wheels”, but some guidance here in what I’m doing wrong would be very much appreciated.  I’ve gone through this 3 times, all with the same result.  With the SuperB at about 2 something a pop, maybe I should learn more before hitting the print button again.
Thanks in advance,  Bill
