Where does Qimage Ultimate sit in this discussion? No mention in that thread about Qimage Ultimate.

It's not possible to see the discussion unless you join Lindekin  Huh?
What is being said and which software is being mentioned?
However, regarding QU, there's no contest really, see: -

The link doesn't answer the question.

LI is free. Just fill out the form like any other site.

Regards, Paul.

comparisons with out of date versions of Photoshop and Lightroom aren't really helpful - recent versions of Lightroom and Photoshop have significantly improved their print output. I recently did a quick check between current versions of QI, Lightroom and Photoshop when preparing a talk on printing for a local camera club, and found very little difference between the prints.
(Two differences that do remain are:
Qimage can retain layouts for later reuse
the Adobe programs can output a 16 bit file for further processing if you want it
)

How have they done that, is information available? Has anyone said that LR and PS have improved their interpolation algorithm?

Did you try a print at a resolution of say between 100 and 150ppi? If you want to crop an image, or have an old low resolution one, then  you'll see the difference I'm sure.

I took a section of a 12Mpixel image I'm familiar with, equivalent to the whole being printed at A1 size, and printed that through the three programs. That would be roughly 120 ppi by my calculations. Printer was an Epson 3880, Epson inks and the paper was a smooth paper, not textured. While the images weren't absoloutely identical, there was no way to say one was better than the others. I know what I'm doing - I've been using Lightroom since the version 0 beta, Qimage from its first version, and versions of Photoshop from version 5.5 (which was truly dire at resizing for print!)
