I will need more info in order to help.  What does "crashing" mean?  Does that mean it freezes?  Shuts down?  Is there an error message?  When does this happen: as soon as you try to start Qimage, when you try to print, or some other time?

Regards,
Mike

I am a user of over 15 years and have hit a wall.

Qimage is crashing before i can print anything. I am using windows 11.

reuploaded software etc.. not resolved the issue

The live view is a preview of the layout.  It isn't a photo editor nor is it meant to judge image quality.  The purpose of that preview is for you to design your layout so cached thumbnails are used so that you can do things like preview an entire page of wallets with no delay in generating unnecessarily detailed images.  There are many tools within Qimage that allow you to preview images full screen if that's what you need including the image editor, full screen view, image examiner, image comparator, and you can also open the full page editor and set the preview to high quality.  Or the already mentioned soft proof if you just want to preview the page once you've created it and you don't mind the extra time to generate full resolution images.  Those options are all there but they are options because no one would appreciate the amount of time it would take to render full resolution previews for designing a layout.

Hello there,

I've just downloaded and installed the trial version v2024.101 and I'm having an issue with the preview image displayed. I'm having the same symptoms that sync007 was having in the thread started Dec 19 2018. Photoshop, Lightroom and every other program I have that displays images is showing them fine. I have printed an image and that has come out just like an image I printed with Lightroom earlier today. Like sync007 and thanks to him I can use the work around that he did (clicking on soft-proof preview). I've attached a couple of uncropped RAW 22.7mb files. These images taken by phone are off my 3840x2160 monitor. They are both non soft-proof and soft-proofed the difference you'll agree is plain to see. This occurs with every image I've tried to test with over several RAW formats (Sony, Olympus and Panasonic), Tiffs and JPEG. I've set my thumbnails to their largest and thumb and preview quality to best. I've rebuilt the thumbs and the Global Filter is off. Quality for screen views and small prints is on full, and Raw thumbnails and cache is checked on cache w/fast thumbnail priority.
Can anybody help please?
The attached images have had to be resized to be able to post and are now JPEGs. Now down to one file showing the Pixelated image.

Thanks in advance

Gary

Oh wow, how do I count the ways and where to even start. Just off the top of my head, the ability to EASILY

• Resize, change aspect ratio
• Create layouts with multiple prints of various sizes on a page
• Invoke the highest quality interpolation algorithm(s) available so that almost any decent digital image can be printed to any reasonable size
• Adjust color balance, lighting and contrast
• Do all of the above without ever destroying, or altering the integrity of the original image
• Manage and organize photos into albums without having to actually make multiple copies of the images
• Instantly recall and revisit any photo page you have ever printed
• Do all the pixel peeping you want to, even compare two versions side by side

I have barely gotten started

In addition to the ability to print any size and arrange on the paper, have a look at this:
"New Forge interpolation method raises the bar for print clarity and accuracy!"

This has always been the significant feature of Qimage with improvements over time. There are other significant features listed there too.

Most photo editing software have print modules that seem to work ok. I use ON1 Photo Raw and a Canon pro-100 printer. I like the Qimage interface, but are there advantages other than the interface? Thank you.

I think you would benefit from watching the whole video that I posted or at least the whole part related to floating text.  The answer is, you right click on the little ball to the left of the floating text label.  Here is that portion of the (same) video:

Ok I have created some text but after how do I edit that text, I tried clicking on it but that does not work?

Yes missed that all together, thanks!
