here are the other two screen shots, the forum only allows so much data to be uploaded so I needed to split it.

Hi there, I'm having some difficulties with colour in Qimage Ultimate. I have created my own colour profiles using my X-Rite basic pro2 in i1Profiller and when running them through Photoshop they come out perfect. When I use Qimage they aren't anywhere near the same quality. The Qimage prints are much darker and it looks as though a bunch of colours have banded together which makes the print look pixelated. When looking at the soft proofer in Qimage I get similar effect so it appears that it might be the interpretation of the profiles though they are standard profiles in RBG so I don't understand why. The soft proof is also generally a poor interpretation of the actual image, when viewing the soft proof next to the image both in Qimage there are artefacts all over the soft proof which aren't on the image in the image viewer.

As far as I can tell all of the settings and the rendering intents are the same as in Photoshop and the same as I use when using my Epson standard drivers. I have checked that I am not doubling up on profiles and I have tried multiple drives.

Hopefully I'm doing something sill with the settings. I have a bunch of screenshots but I don't think I can upload them. I guess if you want to see them I can email you them.

Thanks,
Ben

I actually have one more question which is tangentially related. I can't seem to use two templates on a page. I have created layouts for A1, A2, A3, and A4 and I'm planning printing a test just to make sure that they all print accurate sizes but when I add them they are all added onto new pages and don't automatically adjust to save space.

HUZZAH!!

Thanks Terry, though to be it took me quite a lot of attempts and I pretty much gave up until you put the new instructions on there. I think the whole program just takes a bit of getting used to. I was trying using matts at first but I couldn't get it quite right. This is perfect and now I have it I can easily make changes to the size if I need to or just save one of each for the standard paper sizes at least.

Thanks again Terry!

Terry-M that is exactly what I'm after. So the border is always the same as the paper size (or a specified size) and the image is then best fit due to it's dimensions.

I need a quick way of doing it. I usually run it through Photoshop but it just means I need to manually adjust each file so I hoped there would be an automatic way of processing it through Qimage.

Hi all, I want to print with a border which is relative to the paper size and not relative to the image size. When I am using the software to create borders I can add a border which is X mm relative to the image that I am printing but I want a quick way to choose a border which is relative to the paper instead.

So for instance I might want to select a 297 mm by 210 mm sheet of paper and I want to use an image which is 100 mm by 100 mm. I can easily select to have a border which is 10 mm in relation to the image by selecting the standard border preferences but I want to have a border relative to the paper instead. Basically this is for printing runs of images which are all going to be standard paper sizes but include variable borders. Say 10 images that are all going to be printed A4, will all need to fit into an A4 frame, but are all variable in proportion. I need the border as a reference for quick cutting.

Hopefully this makes sense but if it doesn't let me know and I can clarify.

Thanks,
Ben
