Mike Chaney's Tech Corner

First off i would like to say a BIG HELLO to fellow users of Qimage  :)

We have been using for about the past two years or so now but as business is picking up we would love to know more about the hidden secrets of this amazing software

Does anyone know how or if its even possible to add our company logo either in the second boarder or outside of the first boarder a bit like you can the info and file name etc, we are basically looking to make the canvases a bit more personalised to us and add our logo web address etc so when we wrap the logo and info can be seen at the rear of the canvas

Best wishes

Hi Carl,
Welcome to the forum.
I have one or two ideas that may help you, involving floating text or a small second image. It's late here in the UK now but I will give a full answer tomorrow.
In the mean time, it would be usefully to know what your logo is like - text, graphic etc.?

Hi Carl,
Here's what you can do and I made some screen shots, see below.
The first two shots show both floating text and a "logo" image placed in the outer border. The latter requires the page to be set to freehand mode before dragging the logo image to the preview; the page editor was then used to position it accurately and make sure it was "in front" of main image.
If you are making sets of canvas wrap prints of identical sizes then it will pay to make a template for each size with the logo text and or image in position. Once done, all you will need to do is drag the main image to the preview.
See second pair of screen shots.
If you are not sure about how to do any any of this, especially templates, please come back and ask.
Terry

Carl,
I forgot to say that a made the outer border grey to make it more visible on the screen shots.
And whoops  ::), I should have made the text and logo upside down so that when wrapped it's the right way round on the back of the frame.
See screen shot.

Hi Terry,

Thanks so much ive just tried and works perfectly, im going to try and set up a template for our most popular sizes and see how i get on

Expect a message back asking you for help lol

Thanks again
Carl  :)

No worries.
Some basic stuff about templates:
Use the Template "image" that's at the end of every set of thumbnails and treat it as if it's a real image.
Add borders text etc. as required
Save as a "Layout".
To use a template, from Print Properties, select Custom and "LAYOUT predefined page set".
To see the Help, click the radio button as above and then F1.

I had a look at your web site earlier and see you are based in the UK; anywhere near Rugby?
