I'm fairly new to Qimage and starting to print some old b&w scanned reflectives. I scan the reflectives in color, 48 bit & import into LR and then convert to b&w and then make any other desired adjustments. I then open Qimage using the LR plug-in and when viewing the thumbnails it appears that none of the corrections/adjustments made in LR are reflected in the Qimage thumbnail view. I'm assuming that I'm doing something wrong, but can't figure it out and would certainly appreciate some help/advice. Thank you!

I've never heard of this.  Lightroom is responsible for the export so something must be going on with the LR side of things if it isn't sending the final image(s).  If you bring up the image full screen in Qimage by pressing spacebar while holding your mouse cursor over a thumbnail, does the full screen view have the changes and it's just the thumbnails?  Or does the full screen view also look like it doesn't have the updates?

Regards,
Mike

Yes, it does look the same. I have attached a screen capture (example.jpg) of the thumbnails side by side in the two programs. Hope that helps.

Those images were not transferred with the Lightroom plugin.  You are looking at the original .tif files in Qimage: those will not have the Lightroom changes because those changes you made are proprietary (private to Lightroom) and separate from the .tif files so no other program can read them.  If you used File, Plugin Extras, Qimage Ultimate from Lightroom, Lightroom will "export" the images as-edited and those will show your Lightroom edits.  They will be in an "Export" folder separate from the originals in your screenshot.

You can also save copies of the edited images from Lightroom (without using the plugin) but you have to use the Lightroom export feature.

Mike

Thank you. It all makes perfect sense now. I just couldn't figure it out.
