Title: What are advantages of Using Qimage Software
Post by: robertjbar on February 27, 2024, 03:21:55 PM
Most photo editing software have print modules that seem to work ok. I use ON1 Photo Raw and a Canon pro-100 printer. I like the Qimage interface, but are there advantages other than the interface? Thank you.

In addition to the ability to print any size and arrange on the paper, have a look at this:
"New Forge interpolation method raises the bar for print clarity and accuracy!"

This has always been the significant feature of Qimage with improvements over time. There are other significant features listed there too.

Oh wow, how do I count the ways and where to even start. Just off the top of my head, the ability to EASILY
  • Resize, change aspect ratio
  • Create layouts with multiple prints of various sizes on a page
  • Invoke the highest quality interpolation algorithm(s) available so that almost any decent digital image can be printed to any reasonable size
  • Adjust color balance, lighting and contrast
  • Do all of the above without ever destroying, or altering the integrity of the original image
  • Manage and organize photos into albums without having to actually make multiple copies of the images
  • Instantly recall and revisit any photo page you have ever printed
  • Do all the pixel peeping you want to, even compare two versions side by side

I have barely gotten started
