Hi,

Just been experimenting with adding text in border. If I add floating text, and then rotate the image, the text rotates too, but not maintaining position wrt image, and the size of the text increases. Is this the same for you?

Hi Terry,

That's what I had, but text changes as I mentioned -(v 2010.209). Not used text before, so may be just wrong in later versions.

Best wishes,

Hi Terry,
Thanks, Terry, for giving it a try.

It seems to be related to selecting a custom print size, too. In fact if I crop to fit, when I rotate it (2 x ccw/cw =180 degrees) the image is smaller than the custom size,  and text goes off the page. If I rotate it the full 360 degrees, image is still smaller than custom size, and text is much larger than original. I would expect a 360 degree rotation to bring everything back to the original size. I have no idea why the text size should change, but its position seems as if it's somehow related to the custom size (almost as if that is rotated - but the custom size frame does not rotate - only the image and borders (if any) and text rotates). This is using the ccw/cw arrows on the fp editor screen.

The text size and position change is obvious when it happens, and can be deleted and re-entered, the image size change is more annoying, and may not even be noticed. I can see it as a problem if manually fitting a number of different sized images onto a page, and trying some landscape, others portrait, and having to change a few back again.

If you can't replicate it, I'll post some screen shots later.

Best wishes,

Ray

Hi Ray,
I cannot reproduce what you have in any way.
You have a custom size is specified: 81x110 mm but also I see Template positioning is selected yet there is just the one pink rectangle in the middle of the page. I can't work out how you got there because with that position method andd 81x110 I get 4 templates on an A4 page, not 1.
Why you are using Template positioning?  I suspect this is the source of your problem, the image is rotated within the 88x110 template to fit into it and thus changes the image size as it is rotated.
I rarely use this position method.

I used Center positioning, I suggest you do the same and there will not be a problem and it's a simpler way of using Qimage.

Hi Ray,
Not hidden exactly, the angle is shown. The rotation is relative to the original orientation. Look at the angle in the little box, Rotate Left gives -90; Rotate Right gives 90. That's all it will do, not make the image go round and round.
If you want a different angle, either enter it directly or File/Open Parameter from File and choose one of the the {Q} filters that are there, which includes mirror.
The Full Page Editor is different and you can make the image go round & round providing the Orientation Lock is Off.
I don't know why the image editor is different with the operation of the rotation arrows, it's probably there just to cope with images where there is no rotation flag in them and the orientation is wrong.
If an image is a jpeg, there is a lossless rotation feature that appears in the menu bar that covers all the options in 90deg steps.

Ray,
Just enter zero in the angle box, 'tis easy.
Been there done that and shown it on this forum a few months ago. 2 per A4 sheet double sided complete with upside down images & text.
Not as trivial as you might think

You ought to use it more often then, there's a lot of features, get you head around the Selective Colour tab, then you really will get your money's worth.

Why floating text doesn't the same distance in both windows? See screen shot
