Hi, It's been a couple of years or so since I last used Qimage Ultimate (and then not often). I'm now determined to really get to grips with it - I'm running the latest version.
My current problem is I have just printed 3 images on 1 page (it happens to be A3) I want to save the whole thing as 1 jpeg (1600 x 1200 pixels) so I can upload it to our Club's website gallery. When I've tried a number of ways I only get the 3 separate images. What am I doing wrong please?
Many thanks

Please let me know what you are trying. The best way to do this is to click "File", "Print to", and choose "File"... or drop down "Printer" and select "Print to File". Then when you print, you can print whole pages to JPEG files.

Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike, Thanks very much for your reply, I'm probably being a bit thick here, but I have tried 'Print to' and then File and in the Print to File Setup box it asks for page size in millimetres I've put in the A3 dimensions (which I printed at), but when I go to the file (...qimage/Plugins/Export etc) I only get the 3 separate images.
What I want to save is only the 1 page which has the 3 images on it and then have the ability to save this 1 page onto my desktop so I can then resize it to the required 1600 x 1200 pixels for uploading to our Club's website. I have already printed it successfully at A3 size onto my Canon Pro 100s.
I'd like to get the sorted as I have a number of other prints to do for competitions.

To print to file you have to print. Did you click the print button to print the page(s)? After you do that, there's a dialog where you can specify if you want to "rip" the prints from the page or print whole pages. And when it prints, then it creates the pages.

Hi Mike,
Sorry for the delay (I'm in the UK), so I had to go and eat.
I did print it, but not when I was trying to save the jpeg. It kinda makes sense now you say it, so I'll give it a go.
Thanks for your help.
PS. Just tried it and it works - hurray, thank you sooo much.
