Hello,

I'm asking for some tipps
I have photos taken in 16:9 ratio and want to print them on 13x19 inch paper. The image itself should not be printed to fill up the whole page, I would like to have a small white frame around the image and the remaining border should be printed with black color as this will result in a printed image which looks lake a picture with passepartout.

Is there a way to do this with QIMAGE or should I prepare the image outside of QIMAGE e.g. using Photoshop or similar picture editor?

Thanks in Advance

Wolfgang

Yes and No!
It's very easy to do in QU with borders, it's a basic print function.
Place the image in the queue at the size required.
Select and open the Print properties.
Specify you border dimensions: Border 1 as white and Border 2 as black.
Select B or B+ depending whether you want the borders not to increase the print size with B or B+ if the boders are to be added on to the print size.
See screen shot below.
