Once I have gotten the photo where I want it with floating text and a matt border how do I save it as a tiff or jpg to be used later on. I see job, sessions, layout etc and the explanation for each but these seem to save all sorts of parameters. How can I save just the photo and place in a folder I created?

I have used the cut marks option, in my case the width of my image is 40x30 on a 44" roll so I'm not sure what will happen when I add a border to the image to be 44"x34" ( I want 2" top left and right, and 2.25" at the bottom). I assume the cut lines defining the 44" will get cut off (which is what I want) and only the horizontal ones will remain. If that's the case this will be a good workaround, if not maybe adding a cut mark at page start/end would be a good option in the future.

Qimage can place cut marks around each print so if you only have one print on each page, you can place cut marks on where to cut each print.  You can add white borders if you want some space around the prints.  See the "Cut Marks" option on Qimage's main UI.

I don't actually see it in that usual area which makes me wonder if epson removed it or not.

Is there an option for QImage to print page cut lines? My image is sitting in a 24x31 space.

You would have to click "Properties" on the Printers and Settings tab and check in the driver.  I don't have the P9000 but if the setting is there, it's probably under "Roll Paper Option" on the main tab in the driver.

The epson P9000 driver (at least on the mac) has a cut to exact size option when printing from a roll. Where can I find that on windows inside of QImage? I was able to get 34" high prints of a 44" roll which saved me the step of trimming after the print came out. I do believe this option wasted a little more paper but I don't mind that given how convenient it is.

You can see it in action at about the 2:15 mark in this video:

When I installed Qimage Ultimate, I got the message that it was installing plugins for both LR and PS. I am able to access QI from the PS using the File > Automate menu..no problem. But how do I access QI from LR directly?

Perfect thanks Mike!

Sounds like you have auto cropping turned off on the print which restricts the final size based on the image aspect ratio.  Turn auto cropping on, add your print at 18x24 and then add your photo mat: use the "Shrink" option.
