Brian,

that was it, what happen is that I used another one that I made before as a template of which I applied some filters that created those alpha channels, I just delete previous art but never checked for alpha channels.


Thank you for your help.

In this version I'm having problems with PSD files, only shows parts of the images the rest is masked out, the shape of the mask is the same, it doesn't matter how the PSD file is composed, at first I thought that perhaps smart objects or adjustment layers were affecting it but this is not the case, I'm not sure what is making QU do this, for me to be able to print them I need to flatten the image or saving a copy in jpg format, look at the image.

Place the mirror filter in that Global filter selection, and leave check mark.
The other way is to use the Print Filter, in a similar way to the Global filter, the tick box is just below that.
With the Global filter, the mirrored image shows on the page preview/editor (which still may be confusing when there is text) but the Print filter effect only shows on the print.
You can of course save a global filter or print filter as part of a saved Print Set-up.

Fred, you were right the magic is there...


Terry,

You're right on the money, the Printer Filter does exactly what I was asking for, I'm glad this functions is already there so i can start using it right a way, I'm loving Qimage U even more.

Terry, Fred, Thank you so very much for your help.

Have a great rest of the week... heck, of the month. Smiley

Yes I'm aware of those options, even selecting groups of thumbnails becomes tedious and contra productive, another thing I don't like is that you have to see them mirrored and a lot of this images are designs with text on them, and is just weird looking at them like that, also it makes them hard to spot when you are visually looking for an image by browsing them, I deal with hundreds (even thousands) of images, I have dedicated folders for every product, T-shirts, mugs, etc., if I wanted to see the thumbnails mirror I would mirror them at the time of saving with my image editing program very easily, what I would like is this mirror function to be part of the "Jobs Properties" so you have the option to apply the mirror function to a specific Printing setup, so when the image is printed the result is mirrored without ever actually see it mirrored... all I want is Qimage magic.

See the image for a representation for what I have in mind.

Hi,

more like anything this is a feature request, I know there is a feature to apply a mirror image, but it has to be done image by image I do lots of heat transfers and this gets tedious in the long run, and since my printer doesn't have the mirror feature I can't save it in my driver setting, so I would very much like to see this as an optional feature that can be saved at a driver settings level, just like the Sharpen, interpolation, etc., I hope you would consider this for a future update, this would help me tremendously, and I believe it will benefit others as well.

Thank you.

v2014.241 should put this item to rest.

Regards,
Mike

Mike,

wow, you even worked in Sunday... I truly appreciate it, my hat is off to you, thumbs refresh is even BETTER than before, there is no need to hit any buttons... or click any where no more, it just refreshes, just like Adobe Bridge.

I have been recommending QU in any opportunity I had... but now I will recommend it even more, this is why is NOT PSE  Smiley

I'm a happy Customer one's more... and customer for life.  Smiley Smiley

Again, thank you for your great support.

patience S'il vous plaît

If it was PSE you would wait 12 month and then pay £$70 quid for the new version.

Mike,

I forgot to comment in my previous post that the last version of QU without this problem that I used was .140, and I stayed without upgrading up to .234 since this version the problem has been there until the most current version .240... if this helps.

I'm still looking for a fix but the double F5 in the meantime is a simple workaround.

Mike, your work around didn't worked, still is all the same, take a look at this new VIDEO http://youtu.be/Q8lUzyu8tms, there you can see how the thumbs refreshes instantly without pushing a refreshing in Adobe Bridge, I even refreshed it 4 times in QU in my last test and it didn't worked.

Just because it didn't get fixed in 3 days doesn't mean  I'm not working on it!

Well, in your first reply you infer that the problem was in mi side and not a QU problem and followed by 2 posts that were ignored (after your first reply, but I actually report this problem 8 days ago), I thought that you had no interest in fixing this problem, but that's good to hear that you are actually looking for a solution.

Thank you.

I just installed .240 with hopes that the thumbs problem would be fixed, but no luck... the problem still there.  Sad

I love Qimage (When it works), I have been a user for many years... more than 10, since then it has been the only software that I have been using for printing, and also for engraving, yes that's right I also send engraving jobs to an engraver, perhaps I'm the only person ever to use Qimage for engraving also, and never had any problems or complains until now, but it appears like this problem is not important enough to consider fixing, perhaps is time for me to look for another solution since this problem it is really affecting my workflow considerably, I'll wait for one more update version to make a decision.

I just wanted to clarify that I don't believe is a time stamp modification problem from any of the file sources, everything displays thumbs like it should be, I have Google Picasa, Adobe Bridge, Corel Connect, Adobe Lightroom and of course windows file browser and all display thumbs correctly, I used them all with time modified setting to display them most resent on top... and that is how all of them display them, and with the updated thumb in the case that there is modifications to files.

Am I the only one with this problem with QU?

Mike,

I only mentioned the Dropbox folder to make a point that Fred's suggestion won't work for me by invoking Photoshop withing QU, the example in the video I done it locally in the same computer, I open the file in Photoshop make changes,  save it, then go back to QU and nothing... just don't work like it used to, yes I hit F5 key to refresh and nothing happen (I forgot to do that at the time of the video), I only use Crt-F5 when i was trying to find the problem, and I found out that it is the only way the refreshes the thumbs but this is not a viable solution, actually, before I didn't need to hit the F5 key, all I had to do was click the image already in the queue and it would refresh with the updated  version, I really don't mind seen the updated version on the browser, all I care is the queue one so I can print the newest version of the image, I even try it in a different computer to make sure it was not a local problem with my main computer, but the problem is exactly the same.

Thank you.

Ok, here is a short video showing the problem I'm talking about.

Fred,

thank you for responding, I just downloaded and installed .238 but unfortunately there is still the same problem   Huh?

Oh, I see... your way is by invoking Photoshop withing Qimage, this won't work for me, the way that I/we do it...  is by making the changes and saving withing Photoshop from other remote users that makes the updates in a DropBox shared folder so that then I do the printouts, usually there never was a problem refreshing the Thumbs, I can see the updated version if i open it with Qimage editor but it never refreshes the thumbs in the browser or even in the queue.

Thank you.
