Since many of us use our Qimage in various ways for various jobs, it might be fun while being helpful to new Qimage people as well as long time users to pass on some "stuff" that Qimage does easily.
It occurred to me when I was helping a lady in the Profile Prism section on the forum to print a target. She was having so many questions and concerns.
Qimage has in it's store of tricks, an auto setting for printing a target, whether for Profile Prism, or Cathy's Profiles, or Munki or whatever else.
Simply click FILE. RECALL; then click the button marked "J" for job.
Depending on the sort you have, the target printing selection will be the first or last.
Simply select it and click OPEN.
All the settings will be set correctly for printing your target image.
Sending photos by email.
Two ways in Qimage:
Simplest: click on the thumbnail to select the image. You see it has changed some to indicate it is "selected"/ If you want more than one to be sent in the email, simply hold down the CTRL key while you select other thumbnails.
When you have a few selected, Right Mouse button click on any thumbnail image and select SEND via EMAIL.
You will have a choice of sizes; just pick a size. Qimage will create the images to email in a few seconds, and then open your email program for you where you just put in the email address of the person or persons that will receive it.
Click SEND as you would any other email.
What is so special?
No need to resize. No need to convert from raw or from Tiff to jpg. You just select your thumbnail with no concern to what format that image might be in.
Qimage does it all.
Oh but you knew all that!
Here's one perhaps,you didn't know.
Suppose you wanted to make 25 images for a slide show presentation and you wanted to make them into sizes that wouldn't bloat the slide show file.
You wanted let's say 1024 x 768 or close.
You simply put the 25 images into the queue, right click on the filenames in the queue, and select Create Email Web Size copies.
Uncheck SEND VIA EMAIL, Name a folder to collect the new images that will be created, and Pick your size, or type in your desired size, and click GO.
Last one for now, I promise.
Suppose you want to make a quick change to some enhancement that you made in the batch filter, even just for a look.
You don't want to wait for your 25Mb images to have to load up in the queue. You just want to see if a little touch up might improve.... lets say, even trying a nice Oval Cutout.
You select the thumbnail, right mouse click, and select Create Associative Filter/Quick Edit. (I Know you like a Quickie)
You will get an instant editing tool chest. Add a tick of Fill light, take some off, try a cutout, take it off by typing NONE into the cutout name box, add a little noise filtering to see..... change colorspace....whatever you would like to try.... and do it quickly,
Click DONE! Bam! It's done!
I lied about LAST ONE!
Last one...
Suppose you want to take a file to a store that will print large prints for you. The store says, bring me a TIF for a 16 x 20 print at 300 ppi.
You go to FILE, PRINT TO, and select FILE.
Tell the screen to set to 300 ppi, and the size to 20 x 16. Select sRGB or printer profile with smart sharpen included. Click OK
Click The Print Button in Qimage, select your options, you will find TIF in there too, and you made the file you need.
Now, let's hear some of the stuff you found extra helpful in Qimage; some things that others might not have found.
Have fun with Qimage!!
