Hi,

I've asked Mike to include an option to print crop and fold lines in the borders, which are useful for lining up the prints when making a canvas wrap.

However, in the meantime, I am using the following method, which may be of use. At the moment I am concerned with getting as large a print as possible, so it will be centred on the page.

1)load in image to Qimage, press insert twice so that you have three copies of the original image.
2)In the full page editor,  select one of the three images, make it as small as possible, (try for 1mm square) and centre it.
3)Select another image, resize it to the required print size, add borders as necessary, and centre it.
4)select the third image, resize it to the required print size, and centre it.
5)Select 'mark edges of print'-'guidelines' then the fold and centre lines are produced, the centre lines will be a pair of closely spaced parallel lines.

As I often want to blur the border, then the image produced in step 3) above, is saved as a different name, since filters seem to effect all images with the same name, not just the one instance of the image on the page. Before you print, check the images are stacked correctly. If you don't want the fold line, or modified borders, then no need to use the third image.

Best wishes,

Ray

Hi Terry,

Although I've had Qimage for a few years, it is relatively recently that I've been trying to use it. I know nothing about templates. If done in the sequence I mentioned, the images do stack correctly, but I mentioned to check that before printing. it is easy to mess it up a bit, by selecting the wrong image, or subtracting instead of adding borders (this was partly my reason in some other thread for asking for a separate window for preparing just the canvas wrap stuff). We don't want to make it too easy, however, else Mike may not add in the requested guide lines 

Best wishes,

Ray

Hi Terry,

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try, and let you know.

Best wishes,
Ray

Ok. I'll have ago but I need a day or two, it's a busy life being retired. 
Terry.

...or in my case, trying to remember what I did today? 

continued from reply #9
See attached, a print preview with all the guide lines.
The second image in the queue with the mirror border is blurred and faded (similar to what Ray does sometimes) to show the mirror border more clearly.
NB. when loading the template, it was easier to drag thumbs to the queue list under the thumb area.
Terry.

Best of luck.
If it's any help, I'll try to attach my template file here. (EDIT - yes looks ok)
It's called "Mirror & GL.tpl"
Download & copy to the Qimage save folder.
You may want to edit this one, it's based on A4 paper but that should not matter. Don't forget it sets Freehand mode so you need to make sure all 3 elements are centred in the Full Page Editor.

PS. It's a pity this was not posted in the Qimage section so that non Studio users could gain benefit too, for next time.
Terry.

You are correct, whoops 
Terry.
