Specialized? IMHO I would think anybody printing canvas wraps would like to put their details on the border in a professional manner. But Hey!, what do I know??  Huh? Huh?

Terry,

   Thanks for input, I was not aware of the Floating Text option, and I do use the canvas wrap with a mirror and a blank border.

   Now I have to confess I haven't had much time to play with it, but on my first and only attempt I found the border very small to work with in comparison to the image of the 24x36" image. I'm sure the problem can be solved, but I am out of time, I leave in the morning for two weeks - hopefully I will come back with some exciting images.

   I guess my suggestion was to have Border Text instead of Floating text. You just type in the text and it is fitted automatically into the the blank outside border. Font a % of border width. Only placement info needed would be left/top/right/left border and justification.  Presto, you're done! Perhaps also settable as default for all prints with canvas borders. Do it once, and it's there always.

   Anyhow, thanks again. george

Many thanks for all the info, I'll certainly read it all and hopefully something will stick!

 But I'll keep my eye out for a manual!

Now, a suggestion/request;
   How about allowing text printing on the outside/blank border of canvas prints? My stamp sometimes does not work on canvas, and it should be relatively easy to have some text printed there.

   Regards, g

   Thanks for the PDF, it makes it easier to access the info in the online help, but that is the problem. It is examples of particular actions, which are quite educational in themselves, but I was wondering if there was a User's Manual anywhere, perhaps left over from one of the other editions that goes into a little more detail on the functions and logic behind them.

   For example, I always have problems when I use QImage with the dpi. Nowhere do I see explained what the 360x360 means on top of the page, only by reading through the forums do I see that it is the maximum resolution with the settings I have chosen - and have also learned I can change it to 720x720 by making some minor menus in the printer driver - Epson 7880.
   And apparently, why?, the resolutions under Job Properties are a fraction of the above maximum resolution. I say apparently because they all doubled when I changed to 720x720. Apparently I have to customize the output resolutions for the look/media I am working with -no problem - but then why have a separate line for poster resolution? What's the reasoning here? Why not one also for canvas?
   
   Unfortunately I don't use QImage often enough to keep up-to-date and I often have to repeat the climb up the learning curve, where a manual would be useful.

   Anyhow, I think it is a most useful program and I was just wondering if there was a manual someplace, and I just hadn't dscovered it. Thanks,


   PS
   And why isn't there an actual ppi number in the editor? I realize all the info is there and it is a function of the image size, so why not just use a default size or the size of the original image.

   I find the videos and examples interesting, and they illustrate a particular procedure quite well - but I learn easiest with a manual - is there a manual? thanks -g
