Thanks for the quick response.  In the meantime I had figured a solution to the problem.  Thanks again!

Every time I take a new batch of photos and drag them into the 'page' area a red border appears around each image.  I can't seem to find a way to disable this.  All I've determined so far is that I have to go through each photo in turn and disable the borders.  Even if I select all images this disabling process only affects a single image.  I'm clearly doing something wrong so would appreciate any help that can be given.  I'm using Qimage Ultimate on a Windows 10 PC.  Thanks.

That did it!  Thanks Fred

Thanks again Fred; will try when I get home.  The image you attached is definitely what I'm after.

Thanks for your quick response; I did what you suggested and see that my use of the term 'page' was incorrect.  What I want to change is the background appearance of everything to the left.  The default seemed to be a darkish gray but somehow I inadvertently changed something so that this background now is white.  I'd like to return it to what I think was the default appearance.  Again - thanks for your help.

I cannot figure out how to change the page background color in Qimage Ultimate.  I have searched for the info and found reference to a tab that can be clicked but I cannot find this tab.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.  Brad

OK  Thanks Fred

I've been using the program from a few weeks now.  Most recently I've discovered that when I print out to a file, after tweaking in Qimage Ultimate, that the original filenames are not retained; rather they're called 'template......      Today is the first time this has happened so I presume that I changed something inadvertently but have no idea what that might be.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Thanks Fred:  You did get my thoughts.  I probably just screwed some little thing up.  I send my images to Costco to be printed and they don't do 8.5 x 11 so I am trying their 11 x 14 then trimming the excess white background.  If I continue to have any problems I'll get back in touch.  Thank you again.

I've begun to use this software but am having a few issues.  I'm trying to place an 8.5"x11" image on a page that is 11"x14".  I can do that with no problem but when I set borders arong the image the actual dimensions that aresult are not what I specified.  I've put two borders around the image and indicated that the borders should go into the image, not grow out.  When I make a file to send to the printer, the dimensions of the image which has the appropriate borders is not 8.5 x 11 but approx 8.5 X 12.  The overall image is 11 x 14 as it's supposed to be.  Am I doing something wrong?  I'm not using the 'Photo Mats' option but choosing the borders after clicking the small icon that has 3 horizontal parallel black lines on it.  Any help will be much appreciated.    Brad
