I have a decent video on this that I made a couple of years ago.

Based on an older version of Qimage, but you will see past that.

""Qimage has a Test Strip feature which, is rarely used, and often misunderstood .

Setting the scene: You have a great shot that has been cropped and now you want to make a few 13 x 19 prints. (or larger).
You put the image into the queue, and Qimage reports 79 ppi.
Perhaps, someone emailed an image in reduced size.
There may be a wedding gown involved with fine detail in the embroidery etc. Maybe a head shot of grandma smoking a cigar... wrinkles and all.
Will the print do the dress justice? Will grandma's face show up looking real with wrinkles and pores?

You would rather not waste an expensive sheet of large quality paper if you can avoid it.

Test Strip in Qimage to the rescue!!

With the image in the queue, enter the PAGE EDITOR screen.

Time to play the video.

See it through to the end  Depending on your settings, set video to HD 1080p

If you are using a 5x7 sheet of paper, I presume you are using borderless printing and your page size is 5x7.  Just add a 6x6 print.  If you are asked if you want it to span multiple pages (poster mode), say yes so it retains the 6x6 size.  Then click that Edit Page button to open the page editor and click the test strip button once.  You'll automatically get a test strip that fits on the 5x7 page; cropped without resizing the print.  Also, note that once you click that test strip (vice icon) button on the page editor, you can select any size you like.  Even if you add a 6x6 to an 8.5 x 11 page, for example, you can click the test strip button which puts that print into test strip mode.  After that you can right click on the print, select "New Size" and select 5x7 and it'll be a 5x7 crop of your 6x6.  In other words, once you click test strip, that print will remain in test strip mode until you click the scissors icon on the print to remove it.  Once in test strip mode, you could even go back to the main window and click "2x3" or "4x6" print size and they'll all be crops of your originally selected size (6x6 in this case).  You can modify what part of the image is cropped per Fred's video (in the page editor cropping tool).
