Hello,
This is making me a little mental...
All of the tutorials show folks adding multiple images to an 8 x 10 sheet.  I don't want that.
I simply want to print single images on 4x6 paper (Epson r2400 with epson paper) and have a white border of about 1/4 inch on the long edge of the print for various aspect ratios files (Nikon vs. iPhone vs. Samsung TL500 cameras)
I've used the "Size/Loc." tab of the full page editor to accomplish this for, say, a Nikon .NEF image (AR=1.5), but then when I load an image from the Samsung camera (AR=1.3), I'm back to no borders.
Please help!  How do I make a preset that always makes a 1/4" white border on the long edge of the 4 x 6 paper (reduces image size WITHOUT cropping), regardless of the aspect ratio of the image.

Also, Qimage Studio (v 2010.210) does not show thumbnails for RAW files from my Samsung TL500 camera (.SRW files).

I love Qimage's quality, but I need a little help....

thanks in advance.

I put the link below to the camera models that Qimage Ultimate covers at the present time.

The list gets up dated with new camera models perhaps, twice a year.

Good morning,
Let's take this slowly for my sake.
The first point to make as Ray touched on, is that 4 x 6 paper on an Epson 2400 allows a print of 5.766x 3.766. You cannot get 4 x 6 without borderless, so we settle for a little smaller size print.
You want to have one long side of the print *always* have a 1/4 in margin.
Ray had the answer, but I will lay it out since I am looking at the driver of the r 2400 it is easier.

I set the paper size in the driver to 4 x 6.
Go to the Page Formatting (In Studio) menu and select page margins.
In the bottom set, *add* -.11. Close it

Set the crop scissor to ON.
I opened Qimage Custom size box and selected SPECIFY ONE DIMENSION.
I ticked SHORT SIDE because that lets me control how much white space I'll have on the long side where you want the 1/4 inch
I (trial and error method) typed in 3.75.
Now I went to the last thumbnail (Template) and placed it into the queue.  See snap

Now open the Full Page Editor and use the down arrow key on the keyboard enough clicks to get the bottom margin to read zero. See two snaps, before arrow keys, and after.
Now the top one reads .25. See screen snaps.

Close the Full Page Editor screen, and go to FILE SAVE on the main screen and click the "L" button for Layout. Give it a name to remember, and SAVE.

All done!

Now, when you want to use the layout, you simply open Print property size and select Custom. Put a dot in LAYOUT, click OK.
Select your named layout from the list.
Qimage will open the screen with your layout all made. Add any image and it will have a 1/4 margin on the top long side, and zero for the bottom long side.
If the crop scissor is on, any image, regardless of aspect ratio, will fill the template.

I hope that's what you wanted.

Wow, I really appreciate you guys taking the time to respond in such length and detail.  Makes me appreciate Qimage (and community) that much more!

Terry-M's fix is right on the money.  I should have said that I wanted a 1/4" border on both of the long sides of the print.  SPECIFY ONE DIMENSION for the short side REALLY did the trick.
I apologize for the frantic tone of my original post....it was late and I was frustrated...!

As for viewing RAW files from my Samsung TL-500 camera:  it's the same as the Samsung EX-1 (EX-1 is the European model), but I guess I need Qimage Ultimate to get the RAW capability for it.  I have Studio 2010.210 which must not support the camera.

Thanks to all again!!!!
