Mike Chaney's Tech Corner

Hi Mike, I'm coming back to photography - managed to revive my Epson T50. But i have forgotten a lot of how things were....I vaguely remember how i could nudge a photo and also size it dynamically...and i can't find that feature anymore. I"m using 2022.120, not the latest. I tried it on 2022.120 but it wasn't the same - didn't work like how i remembered it.

Please clarify what you mean by nudge.  In the page editor, you can move prints around and also resize them easily.

Yes - sorry i knew i was a bit vague - it has i think a blue scissors thingy - say an image has lots of space around it for the paper size and i wanted to nudge to have a bit more space above the heads - i could do it with a previous versions. I can't seem to do that anymore with v2022 x120. There is a crop thingy now where that blue scissors was...it's not like how i remembered it....

I went back and installed 2022.120. If you just want to move the print a little bit, you can just grab it and move it. Otherwise, you can also go into the page editor (down arrow at the bottom just below the print), highlight the print and "nudge" it with the up, down, left or right arrows. You can also grab a corner and resize it.

I tried - didn't work for me. Even when i chose a small print size 6X4, and i'm looking the people's thighs and kness, so i want to nudge it up to their faces....it's not moving. in the version i remembered i could simply hold the mouse down on the picture and slide the image up to the faces. I can't with 2022.120.

It's not clear to me whether we are talking about moving the image within the print size (cropping) or moving the location of the print on the page.  It sounds like you might want to adjust the crop.  Click the "More tools (full page editor)" button lower right of the live view on the main window.  Then click on the "Cropping" tab on the top right of the full page editor.  You can then click and drag the small image on that Cropping tab to do things like add more space above heads in a picture (if space is available in the photo), etc.

Is that what you mean?

Regards,
Mike

Ah- i got it now . I wanted to move the image within the print size. And I found it through your explanation. Yes - i can now zoom to enlarge and also move the print. Thanks.
