You can right click on any size in the print size box. That gives you a complete menu of what you can do.. i.e  make a new size, remove it, save is as a permanent size, etc.

Perfect ... than you.

I don't quite understand the purpose fully.
... to aid in trimming with rotary trimmer.

I can understand wanting an extra .125 of white space to have room for error when trimming, but making the print size larger by .125 doesn't seem to satisfy making it easier to trim.
The edge of the print is still the same.

All this printing/cutting is new to me, but do not follow you as to why I would want to add more white border.

If I have 5 1/8" x 7 1/8" actual image ... my first two cuts do not have to be so precise.
Then my last two cuts are done with the ruler guide in place.

Thanks Fred, your answer was helpful.

Is there a way to save "custom print" settings ... and have them show up in the list ?

For example I like to print my 5 x 7 prints at 5.125 and 7.125.
Same for a 4 x 6 at 4.125 and 6.125 (makes it easier for my rotary trimmer)

... or maybe an option for future update.

Thanks for those detailed settings Fred ... I'm new to QU and the Pro 100.

and simple way of selecting priority areas of the image for exposure.

... anyone know of a video that shows the above for QU ?

If you take the time to learn QU, and being a fair person, will honestly compare....
I will take any Raw image or even a JPG, and make a better final image and print using Qimage than can be popped out of PS.

... very bold statement and you've certainly peaked my interest.

Raw processing ... QU does it automatically to 90% of spot on.  

Please explain how to auto process a raw file.

I found an old video for you

That's pretty amazing.
Can I assume that the default DFS set to 5 on the main screen will auto apply DFS to a print ?

Thanks Fred

My point... Ink price is little concern.
Paper cost little concern.
This is a hobby for us. We take pictures and catch good light on an interesting subject, and it starts there.

If this is your business, then like any business, you balance costs against results.

I think you have to decide to enjoy printing or give it up and let Walmart print for you.

Not trying to sound harsh, but there is no middle ground. 
If you bought a decent printer and do not use it, you will have clogged coagulated ink cartridges, and dried out head. Many many ink cleaning cycles.... to recover. THAT gets expensive.

Again, apologize for sounding harsh
Fred


Not harsh ... good points ... Thanks Fred.

The auto job log in QU allows you to see how much area has been prints with ink and the total area of the media used. I've used this data to do detailed costings of my printing.

Wow , did not know it had that feature.

do not try to "enlarge" the image before you print it. Let QU do the interpolation and use the original image at 10x8.

So I could make adjustments in Photoshop to everything but size ... then send to QU for the enlarging ?

Hi Fred

The original is actually 804 x 642 ... inch dimension just a little smaller than the 4 x 5 I gave above.

Yes, I could print to see but ink's not cheap ... and was trying to figure what "print to file" would do.

I'd say your bottom image is 172.

... are you saying if I enlarge my image to 8 x 10, it will suck like your top image ? Grin Grin Grin

Thanks for the reply

New to Qimage.

Have a small image of approx 4 x 5 at 172 ppi.
Brought it into Q to see how good Q would enlarged it to 8 x 10.

Then tried to print to file, just to see what would be output.
Not sure if anything actually happened, as it did not ask me for name or save location.

Appreciate if anyone could shed some light on this for me.
