46  Mike's Software / Qimage Ultimate Wish List / Supersize it - please on: May 16, 2022, 12:29:00 AM
I have had to temporarily (for the next few weeks) install QU on a laptop with a small screen. Even with the large thumbnails, I am struggling to review.  (my eyesight isn't as good as used to be).  With over 2000 new photos to review, I'd rather not have to go through them one by one in my normal Preview - Add to Queue mode (I don't add them, just rate them).

Any chance we could get an Extra Large thumbs option??

Just wondering, how many different aspect ratios do you normally deal with up there on Neptune?  I ask because I was thinking that another way to address this would be by filename - or maybe a filename prefix associated with each aspect ratio - then sort by file name.

Yes - two sided.  For matte pages I use Moab Entrada Rag Bright two sided, for PK pages I use Inkpress Luster Duo

I print photo books all of the time and have one other suggestion.  Save individual pages - or perhaps a small group of pages - as a job. Then you can print them  and assemble in any order you want.  Most of my album pages have multiple photos on them, but often, I will find that a photo I had placed in an early page, will really work or fit better later on in the book. While the cut, copy, paste will work for this, I find it much cleaner and easier to work with jobs containing between 6 and maybe 20 photos - and either 1, 2 or 4 pages - than a large job with 30 or more pages and 150 or 200 photos. I usually create a new save folder for the jobs, then name the jobs either by theme or planned page number. (or both e.g., lacrosse tournament pages 3 and 4)

Love it!  Especially the new Page Editor AKA Advance Layout Tool with the max screen capability, and the new floating text feature so that I can now see what I am doing as I do it. Also like the little down arrow to go directly to the page editor.

Is the problem really paper size or print size?  If it's print size, remember, QU lets you define any print size that you want and save that size for future use.  A few years ago, I needed to make a bunch of prints that were 3.5 x 7.25 inches (don't ask) three of them fit nicely on an 8 1/2 x 11. Anyway, that size still shows on my size dropdowns - I probably should delete it as I wont be using it again (I hope).

I can't replicate it.  This is good. To use a term coined by Roger Clemens, perhaps I mis-remembered.
53  Mike's Software / Qimage Ultimate / Re: "edit page" anomaly on: July 26, 2021, 03:18:06 PM
I'll give it a whirl later today.
54  Mike's Software / Qimage Ultimate / Re: "edit page" anomaly on: July 26, 2021, 04:11:25 AM
FWIW, I have the same thing happen as ckaza states in the original post.  Bring to Top blows the photo to the next page. I have never worried about it since there are other ways to accomplish this; but that is how it worked for me, although I haven't used it recently. But, I am thinking that when I last tried this, there were many, many pictures on the page, not just the two.
55  Mike's Software / Qimage Ultimate / What - no April Fool ? on: April 01, 2021, 04:07:09 PM
Was expecting to see an announcement of QU 2023.100 featuring multiple transformational layers, and new sliders for everything from noise reduction through sharpening, interpolation, color correction an industry first slider for print size and paper profile selection.
56  Mike's Software / Qimage Studio Edition (archived) / Re: color shift problem on: March 10, 2021, 03:32:42 PM
I'm no expert, but logic says the printer is old and just no longer working properly.  This printer was first released almost 15 years ago.  If you are sure that you aren't double profiling, and all of the boxes have the same settings, and obviously if you are using QIMAGE Studio Edition, obviously that hasn't changed; then the printer itself is the problem.  Perhaps nozzle isn't fully clogged but not fully functioning.  One last crazy thought, on my old Epson 2200, I once interchanged the location of two different cartridges, and it did let me print, but that was more than just a color cast; it was psychedelic.  I think it's time for a new printer.

I have been following this thread with great interest and really have nothing significant to contribute, but I am curious, did you follow Mike's earlier suggestion and open your automated job log in Qimage?  My job log has every job I have EVER printed, going back over 16 years,  two computers and three printers ago. Yes it takes a half a minute or so to open, but it might at least tell you the answer as to what/how you did this. Just curious.
58  Mike's Software / Qimage Ultimate / Re: How do you print a photo album with Qimage? on: January 17, 2021, 08:56:16 PM
Bill - I have done many albums of this type. While I do occasionally tilt and or overlap photos, I have found that too much of that does not wear well.  Varying the size, spacing, open areas and text placement from page to page has been - for me at least - more aesthetically pleasing.  Aligning vertically or horizontally different sizes on a page works especially well. Also, two recommended papers - again these have worked best for me - Inkpress double sided luster, or for matte, Moab Entrada double sided, the 190 not the 300 as the latter is too thick for a flexible album page.  Mel W

I suddenly started getting this as well, but my settings must be lower because I did get the Run Anyway option.
60  Mike's Software / Qimage Ultimate / Re: Saving Photo with Text caption on: October 31, 2020, 12:33:12 AM
I'm not sure what this would prove, but since you say it printed fine with the caption, try recalling the job from the automated job log (rather than the job that you saved) and see that it has the caption.
