Hi

I'm quite new to Qimage but struggle sometimes with knowing quite the best way of doing some things.

I have a fairly complex freehand page that contains about 12 photos which was put together with freehand placement of each photo, tweaked using the "edit page".

What I sometimes want to do is swap one photo in the 12 with another. Is there an easy way to do this while retaining the exact layout/location? If I remove a specific photo from the queue and then try and add another it will place it at an arbitrary location - and then I have to go through tweaking its orientation, position etc. Is there a better way?

I would be quite neat to have a substitute or swap facility to make this easy - or perhaps I'm missing something?

Many thanks

David

Not exactly sure what you want to do:    Remove an image and replace it with a new one, or exchange places putting number 6 where number two is and swap?
Always remember to drag the thumb rather than click the plus.

You can use CUT to Clipboard in the Page Editor, and move stuff around and then Paste AFTER and reseat that.
Not sure what you are trying for.

You can also set up templates and Save them in the set positions and then use it at will with any choices of images.

Make a template so the positions are locked in and save it.
Then you can change the images at will with no fuss or trouble.

David,
I had a brainwave, a better method using templates  
If you have a set of images in the queue and want to replace one exactly in the same position, size & crop on or off, this works, just tried it.
Save the set as a LAYOUT with a suitable name.
Clear the queue
From the Print Properties menu choose Custom-Layout and select your layout.
This will load the queue again with all the images but in a Template.
Remove the unwanted image using the red button on the image; this will leave behind a red template.
Drag the replacement image to the red template - done!
The only adjustment that may be required in the page editor is the position of any crop on the crop tab.

If you want to re-use that template with a new set of images, remove each image individually with the red button and save as a layout with a new name. Remember, to use a saved template it's Print Properties - Custom - Layout.
