Title: Is there a auto alignment?
Post by: Miky on September 21, 2022, 09:52:43 PM
Hello, from a newbie. I just bought Q Image and I want to print 6 (4x6) pictures on a 19X13 paper place in landscape position. The pictures are place 3 on one row and 3 in an another row. I would like to know how to make sure that they are perfectly align and I want them to be of equal distance on every sides. Thank you!

Qimage is the only app out there that can auto align any print(s) of any size on any number of pages.  Simply select Intellicenter placement (button under the live view) and it will do exactly as you are requesting.

Regards,
Mike

I use that layout all of the time. Nine 4x6s fit perfectly on a 13x19. Please attach a screenshot so we can see what you are doing and what results you are getting.

Yeah, please post a screenshot.  It's kind of like trying to diagnose a rattle in your car over the phone.  We can tell you the usual suspects like looking for loose change, keys, or other objects in the center console and glovebox.  After that, we're gonna need to see it.

You've manually dragged one or more prints on the page which turns the page into freehand mode and turns off auto-placement.  Not sure why you'd do that if you want auto-placement.  What did it look like before you moved (one or more) prints?

See attached: I can tell you moved prints because the freehand page icon (circled in red) is highlighted.

BTW, if you want to go back to auto placement after you drag prints around and you're in manual/freehand placement mode like your screenshot, you can click that same circled button to revert back to auto placement.

Regards,
Mike

Now I believe I understand . I did place them manually because I wanted my photo to be place in a special order (sequence)and Q Image was always placing them in a different sequence. This is why I have to move them. I've restarted every thing and It woks but I have one final question. To place them like I want them.  I open manage prints then edit page and then ctrl key + arrow to place them where I want.
Is this the best way to do it. I'm here is a copy of final result
Thank you for your time!

The location of the print is just based on the order it was added to the live view, so if you initially add them in the wrong order and you want to rearrange them, all you have to do to is select a print on the main live view and use the up/down arrow keys to change the order of that print in the queue.  Up arrow moves the print forward (later) in the queue and down arrow moves the print back (earlier) in the queue.

Regards,
Mike

.. and I'll add another way that Mike doesn't know about.
Click on Queue tab. There's list of your images in the queue by filename. Select one that you want to reposition, and right click. Use BRING FORWARD or SEND BACK.

Shhh Don't tell Mike
