Thanks for the offer I have found for some reason that if I use the sepia tone preset in LR develop mode and save it then it gets lost or is not shown unless Lr or PS prints it, however for some reason if i add a sepia tone in PS and reduce the opacity till it matches the print, flatten the 2 layers it and try Qimage then Qimage faithfully prints it. either something odd with my set up or a Lr anomaly anyway I know next time if I want to print sepia tone how to do it.

Don't know too much about LR, but there are plenty of expert users on here. Maybe they can comment.
Nevertheless, happy that you are sorted.
I have access to CS5 for a while as I am poking around in a friend's computer.
I can make layers with any filter and multiple filters, save it, and Qimage will print from the PSD file using the adjustments.

That's all I can offer.

Beautiful restoration job. I am Wow'ed

Hi
I've just tried using the Sepia preset on a file in Lightroom, exported it and printed in QI and it came out with the correct sepia colour that I see on the screen.
Sorry if I'm being a bit negative Sad

, sometimes things happen which you can't pin down.

I'm not familiar with Lightroom but I would assume that any image adjustments made are "non-destructive" (like a QU filter). Is that correct and does the export process make a new image with he adjustments included?
Obviously LR can read these and include in the printed image, and probably CS5 too, but not QU as you would expect.
Maybe this is the cause of the problem - the image has not been exported or new image created with the sepia tone included.

Lightroom exports the file with all the adjustments made, although as you say the original file is not changed. The changes are stored in the Lightroom catalog or as a separate sidecar (.xmp) file or both, but it can only be read by Lightroom or Photoshop in the same way as the QI filter file can only be read by QI.

I suspect our original poster did not "export" the file; that's the only thing that I can see caused the problem.
You have shown it works fine for printing in Qimage when you do that.
I hope adwd reports back to put this to bed.
