I'm not complaining - just making a suggestion. It is often much more expedient to just look something up rather than wait for a reply. As well wading through the results of a search on the forum are often fruitless or take you down a path you weren't expecting.
Thanks for being there and answering questions

Thanks for such a fast response. I have looked through the menu options a number of times and would have never figured this out.

Just saying, however, an up to date manual would be hugely helpful. Often trying to find something in the help section is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack.

Again thanks so much
Bob

Hi
My post title is my question.
Is there a way in Ultimate to turn off and keep off the auto crop feature?

I only print one image per page and want the full image printed. Invariably but randomly the auto crop scissors is on and if I am not careful to turn it off I print a cropped image.
Thanks
Bob

Sorry for the delayed response.
The core settings recommendation was a help - a little quicker.  Thanks
I am one of those with a Sony and 42mp files - actually closer to 80 on disc.  I have set the file types to only TIFF and PSD as I don't print raw or jpeg.  I only use QU for printing.
Interesting that it renders the files so much slower now than it did before the reinstall of Windows and QU.
I am pretty tech savy, however, I did miss the multicore setting in QU and it is possible I have missed something somewhere else.  I will keep looking.
I am used to Capture One rendering my raw images in 1 - 2 seconds even for the large raw files.  As an example the day before I posted the original thread I ingested 243 42Mb files (81-83 on disc) and CO rendered all 243 to highest quality 2560 in just under 5 minutes.  I tested QU for raw renders for the exact same 243 images and it only took 27mins 34 seconds - there were no tiffs, jpegs or psds.  This was before reset the multithreading - I am going out tomorrow and will test my days shoot and see if it is just as slow - I expect not.
Thanks so much for your help

Thanks
That worked.
A very long, slow process to rebuild thumbs and I have only allowed tiff and psd files.  If raw and/or jpeg was selected I would still be working on the first folder.  I have a fairly new and very fast system with 32 gb ram but trying to browse anything more than tiff and psd files in QU and my computer is on its knees.  Any other image browser I use is very fast but not QU.  Not sure what it is doing but after 1/2 hour to browse a folder with only 256 images I gave up and ended it with the task manager.  Tried again with a different folder and the same thing.  It never used to be like this.  I now have only tiff and psd selected and still very slow to browse and also render thumbs, however, manageable.  Once rendered everything is quick.

If you have any ideas about what might be happening I would appreciate you insights.
Thanks again.
Bob

I recently had to rebuild my Win 10 computer.  Everything including QU reinstalled perfectly EXCEPT the QU thumbnail and center display panel colors are way off.  They are washed out and subdued.  The softproof colors are perfect and so are the edit panel colors perfect.  The prints come out correctly. I have tried everything I can think of to get the thumbs and center display panel to display the correct colors.  The colors were fine before I had to rebuild win 10.  The color difference is very, very obvious. It is probably something simple, however, I am definitely not seeing it.

I would appreciate any help.  Hopefully, Mike reads this and can shoot me an answer.

Thanks
Bob

I spoke to soon.  There is nothing in the help, however, I found them.  I started rt clicking everywhere possible and founf them when rt clicking only on the displayed image.
Thanks
Bob

PS It would be really helpful if Mike would create and updated help section.

Fred
Thanks.  I can't find any reference in the QI help to mats and I have no idea what they are or where to look.  Would it be possible to point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Thanks for the help.

I managed to get it to work, however, the logo and signature are designed to be on top of the actual image.  This is great if you want your signature or logo printed on the image surface.  I should have been more descriptive on what I am trying to achieve.

I did not want my logo to be on the image but below the image.  I know this may be different, however, it is much like signing in the reveal or non printed portion of the print.
I have a couple of custom made screw post portfolios for hands-on presentations to galleries and purchasers and the printed logo in the bottom right adds just an extra touch.

I have created a smart object print template in PS, however, I either have to print from PS (which I really don't like) or have to save the image in the PS smart object and then go back into QI to print.  This works, however, I will have lots of extra images stored on my HD and it is also a lot of extra work.

Possibly I am doing something wrong.  The only way I could make it work for my needs was to add an inner border that goes inside the the selected print size. While this works the restriction is that the added border is all around the image and this compromises my image position on the final print.  Adjusting the margins is only partially helpful.

If I was able to adjust just one border on top or bottom it would be perfect or if I was able to freehand move the template image area.  Unfortunately the only way I can see to adjust the template image area is via the margins or borders.

I would appreciate any insights if I am doing something wrong or if there is another way to achieve my needs

Thanks again
Bob

I need to add my logo (not a signature) to the bottom right margin or border of my images when I print them.  How is this possible and assuming it is then how can I make it into a template?


Thanks for all your help.
