I am really enjoying getting to know qimage - What i use it for the most is printing multiple images to one sheet. For me the advantage is to get true print dimensions
Hi Todd, we're pleased to hear this
If I crop the photo in PS and end up with a 4x6 crop
and
This feels counter productive
Actually, cropping in another program is counter productive, it is not necessary
Just use your original, un-cropped image in Qimage, set the size to 4x6 (it's one of the standard sizes in the drop-down), adjust the crop position & zoom in the Full Page Editor and that's it.
You have to get into another mode of thinking with Qimage, forget what you have to in other programs to get a size & crop.
then if I understand correctly, qimage will upsize my 4x6 print to 720 PPI and print it
That is correct.
To get the best resolution of detail on your print, use 720, especially on a print that will be viewed as a close distance. See the web site for a full explanation
http://www.ddisoftware.com/qimage/quality/Qimage has advanced interpolation algorithms (no other program has anything like it); the 720ppi is the "native" resolution of the printer and by using that, the driver does not "mess around" with the pixels.
I am unable to figure out what the Photo RPM setting actually does on the Epson 1400
Many Epson printers have this setting, like my R800. Best photo is 2880 dpi and RPM is 5760 dpi. I can, on close inspection, I can see a difference, but for most work, Best Photo is sufficient, and it's much quicker to print. Note the difference between image pixels per inch (ppi) and printer spray pattern dots per inch (dpi).
I've forgotten what RPM stands for.
