I cannot get Comparator to work!!

Only one image displays.

There are two images in Queue - instructions say "Click in print queue at the bottom of the main page (this is where the file names are displayed).

But the file names are not displayed there, they only become visible when clicking on the top image, and only the top image name shows.  Everything else works - zoom in/out etc etc but no second image to compare.

Just fired up QStudio and function works fine.

Have i disabled something in Ultimate? - I cannot see what.

I am trying to use the feature to compare the new sharpening options.

My Vista is running very slow, new disk ordered - but I cannot think that is the cause.

Jeff,
Try it again but this time hold the control key down and select both images.
Fred

If you hold control while clicking on the print queue labels it says 2 prints selected, when you click X comparator works. Unless it says 2 prints selected only one is shown in the comparator. If you click on more than 2 it registers the number but says it will only compare the first 2.

Thanks Both

Hell, I must be getting old - I just could not see it.

Now finally got it.

Me, too, evidently, because until you posed your question, I thought that we had lost the display of print-queue filenames in QU.  Now, of course, I see that I had overlooked the "Print Queue" tab next to the "Job Properties" tab below the queue on the right half of the screen.  Previously, print-queue filenames were displayed in the window below the thumbnails on the left half of the screen.

I was getting Comparator to work, but only by control-clicking on the images themselves in the queue...a slight nuisance when they're on different pages.  Now I can do it properly.  Thanks again for posing the question, Jeff.
