I have Photoshop set as my photo editor. I have a photo in the center panel and I want to type on it, so under "Utilities", I ran the photo editor. Photoshop opens as expected, but the photo in question isn't there. How do I get the phot into Photoshop?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but a wise professor once told me, "If you don't ask the stupid questions, you remain stupid."
For the record, I am using version 2024.102 of Qimage Ultimate

The option under the Utilities menu just opens your photo editor. If you want to send a particular image, right click on that image (the thumbnail) and select "Send to Photo Editor/Converter".

Thanks for the suggestion, but that works if there is a thumbnail. I created a collage and there is no thumbnail for the image in the center panel

That's because that's not an "image": it is a layout. You can switch to print-to-file mode and print page(s) and then send the pages that were printed as files to your photo editor. Regards, Mike

AHA! I see what you mean. So I reset to "print to file" and when I closed that window, it messed up my collage and treated each image in the collage as a separate image. It looks like I have to re-create the collage. But I do understand your suggestion to create a file of the layout, then make the thumbnail to get it to Photoshop
Since the system messed up my collage, is there any way to backtrack that layout to recover the collage and save me time?

If you saved the job before changing to print-to-file you can. Or if you printed it before, you can retrieve it from the job log (button at the top of the main window).
When you set up the print-to-file, you probably used a page size that is different from what you were using before. If you are already set up to print to a printer and you switch to print-to-file, there is a button to the right of the "Resolution" entry that says "Use current printer page size and PPI" and that will create a print-to-file page that matches what you are using so this resizing doesn't happen.

I wasn't smart enough to do either, but thanks for all the tips. I'm learning....

Mike, I'm pretty sure the option for sending an image to the Photo Editor (Photoshop etc.) used to be available when Right-Clicking on am image on the Deck? I've just ben hunting for it and it's gone. What happened to that? I usually load most of my prints from the Saved folder. Now I have to navigate through the folders and then locate the file. My saved print file is always named differently from the actual image.
Can it be added back to the Deck's right-click menu?

"On Deck" is just a convenient album/collection of images and all the right click options that are available for folders are available for images on deck. I can click the green on deck orb, right click on an image in the on deck list, and select "Send to photo editor/converter".
Regards, Mike

Sorry, my wrong terminology!. I meant on the Page, I guess. Was there not a "Send to Editor" on a right-click on an image on the page (ready to be printed)? I think it's the only way have ever done it, but now the option seems not to be there, in at least the latest and the previous versions. (I have v2025.105 currently).
(BTW I love Qimage and use it a lot!)
