I have done a triptych and I see the 3 images but since my printer is only 24 inches wide how do I separate each image to resize and make each wide like 18" so I would have 3 images on the wall each being 18" wide?

Thanks

I can't really diagnose image-specific issues remotely so if you want to put the image (or a few images) in question on Google Drive or something and give a link, I can take a look and see if I can repeat the problem.

That file is not one of the larger ones, but I still get an error message.
These are saved as Tiff, 16 bit, no compression.
The files are flattened, no layers saved.   I have working files with layers, but saved to a different folder.   
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks again, Mike

Hi Gary,

9000 x 6000 is relatively small: only about 160 MB.  Double that if it's 16 bits/channel which is still pretty small.  Qimage can handle images 6-12 times that size easily.

So I wonder, what format are these images: TIFF, PSD, etc?

Also, do they have layers?  Sometimes layers can cause issues and flattening images will prevent problems.  I don't think it's the naming convention.  It's probably just the order in which they are accessed along with some incompatibility with layers.

Regards,
Mike

Great product, with great support.
I am running 2024.101 on a win10 machine.
I have been running into a lot of "Image Read Error" issues as it is generating the thumbnails.
Now some of these files are huge- I am printing a series of 40x60" prints- and downsizing them just a little works.
But often I see no cause.   
I had 3 variants of an image saved.   They were exactly the same file size.   The naming differed only by a number-- 1,2,3.
No other differences.  No spaces, symbols or anything.   
Two loaded normally, one gave me an image read error.   I renamed that file changing the number- and it loaded fine.

For example file name: sun n fun IR 041024 020895
File size is 9000x6001 pixels.
This gives me a "image read error"

None of this is a deal breaker- but is annoying.
Is there something I can change in my naming protocol?

Thanks in advance for any help and guidance.
Gary

If you go to "Utilities" on the top menu and choose the "Migrate..." option, it'll walk you through changing the location of the application data folder.

Yes, all is centralised on a server with 10G connection.  Can you point me out how to assign a different folder so I can try if this works for me?  I've been looking trough all menu's but can't find it.

Perhaps it is possible for future version to set the log folder independently?

Are all your images on the network?  A shared job log doesn't typically work well on two computers because a lot of the time each computer has its own local photos.  If everything is being done on the network I suppose you could set your Qimage application data folder to the same network location on both computers.  Then everything from thumbnails to saved jobs, job logs, printer setups, etc. could be shared.  You'd have to be careful choosing a network location as the application data folder, however, because it can have negative side effects.  For example, network folders are orders of magnitude slower than local drives.  And if it isn't available for any reason, it can cause crashes.

I use Qimage on two systems and rely a lot on the Job log to retrieve info for re-prints or invoices. I now sync the job folders with simple app a few times a week, but it would be nice if I could set a network folder to save the job logs instead.
Could that be a new feature?
