The photo mat works great - thanks Mike

Brian

Thanks Mike, the photo mat feature is very nice.

Perfect would be if the dialog box is a function as in Page Editor "add floating text" .

Was playing in the new mat selection (Looks good!) and went in to edit, used that eyedropper tool (A total bane of a tool for me!) a few times chanign the border color, and then this popped up:

Qimage-
Access violation at address 004AB71F in module "Qimage.exe."  Read of address 00000074.

Clicking OK just reopens the error box again and again.  Have to shut program down in Task Manager (Windows 8.1 64).

Terry-

Landscape image size shows 10.88 x 8.07 @ 111 ppi in Qimage right screen pop-up.  Original image shows in the bottom bar as 403,825 bytes, 1200 x 900, IPTC, ICC: sRGB.icm

Trial borders were set 0.5 left, top, right.  1.0 on bottom.

Went back in to Photo Mat > Edit.

Selected Eyedropper to change background colors on the print in the right pane.

Somewhere in the above the error popped up and Task Manager was called for to kill the app.


However, on this second attempt to get the error reported, I had to do the Reset/Normal thing since I had to shut it down in Task Manager (I guess why it asked?). I never really know which to use there so I hit "Reset" and got a battery of questions "Are you sure?" etc.  I don't know about that one or what it is resetting (Like deleting ICMs profiles, printers, or something?).  I really can't stand that annoying screen's query vagueness, but what the heck.

So back in and the same above image again, and now I cannot select "Edit" even I set up the same mat (above dimensions) along with a colored border, just the "Add mat," "Grow," and "Shrink," are selectable even though there is a mat already selected. The "Edit" part is now greyed out even though a mat is shown???

I exited the large pop-up "Photo Mat Properties" box a few times, and now the "Edit" part came back (As did the "Add" one.) and it is active again.  The "Grow" and "Shrink" are now greyed out even though the same image is in the right pane.  Just exiting and re-entering same image a few times seems to have fixed that.

Okay, while typing this (Qimage in another window), the mat Edit has switched again and I no longer see the "Edit" part, just the "Add," "Grow," and "Shrink" are active again.  Now I cannot "Edit" the mat as it is greyed out.  Colored border is now locked on the same image.

Very odd stuff.

Ah ha!  Got it.  Two blue borders: One image.  Second (outer) is the mat.  Have to click on the outer (mat) one.  Thanks!


Neither do I.
