Title: Ultimate vs Studio custom layout differences
Post by: rbrockjr on July 13, 2012, 04:00:27 PM
I have a custom layout created in Studio that contains a single 5x7 photo and two items of floating text saved as a freehand page template.  When I try to use that template in Ultimate trial version (v2012.219) the position of the photo on the page changes.  In Studio the photo is placed 0.88 in from the top and 0.75 in from the left.  In Ultimate the photo is placed 1 in from the top and 1 in from the left.  The floating text seems to retain the same relative location to the photo placement in both Studio and Ultimate.

Obviously I can move the photo wherever I want it but why would it not open at the same location in both versions?

I have checked some of my old templates from Studio days and they look fine in QU.
The only thing I can think of is to check the page size is exactly the same as was set in Studio.

The page size is exactly the same in both, but I wonder if the difference I am seeing is somehow related to the output resolution for prints. In Studio the resolution is 610 PPI while in Ultimate it is 600 PPI.  (I am using a Canon printer.)

I moved the photo location in Ultimate to where I had it set in Studio and saved a version as a new layout.  When I open that version in Studio the photo appears at 0.76 in from the top and 0.5 in from the left.  Again the floating text moves with the photo as expected.

Sounds like some kind of Borderless or some expansion turned on in the Studio saved JOB. Also check the Placement mode in each version. Make sure they match. That would account for the position of the print.
.What model Canon?

That was it.  Borderless was turned on in the Canon printer settings in Studio job and not in Ultimate.  I didn't catch that since I hadn't explicitly selected borderless for this test.  My printer is a Canon Pro9000 II.

Thanks Terry and Fred for your help.

The 610 and the 600 was the clue!

Enjoy.
