I , for one, would really like the option to work directly in pixels.

I gave that some thought when I was working on it for Ultimate but it's not in the plans for Lite/Pro/Studio right now.  The problem is that the change required a lot of small changes all over the UI which itself has been changed quite a bit in Ultimate.  The stuff I plan to carry into Lite, Pro, and Studio are the more "modular" type of "drop ins" that can be easily ported into the old code.  Things like low level print quality improvements and the ability to see "Info" (text) on the small preview page on the main window are good examples.  Those things can be fit into the old code sort of like just replacing a white Lego block with a red one of the same shape.  A change like the 0.1mm metric precision requires a lot of small changes in dozens of different places in a UI that already has a lot of differences, so that's more like having to disassemble part of the model and remake a portion with different pieces.

Thanks for your reply, Mike. That's understandable. Maybe it's easier to strip the RAW module from Qimage Ultimate to offer a Qimage Ultimate Print version...
