    * Full page editor: Added a right click/menu item and shortcut (Ctrl-O) that toggles the printed page orientation between portrait and landscape.

Priority: Low     

v2009.268 includes the following:

    * Floating text: Several improvements have been made to left, center, and right aligned text to allow aligned text to be "undocked" from the print/page by simply dragging the text anchor away from the edge.

    * Original Size: Changed the "Original Size" selection in the size dropdown so that the embedded size is always used and the "override embedded size" doesn't interfere.

    * UI: Made some minor improvements to the user interface to make settings/options more obvious in some cases.

Qimage v2010.200 (02/19/10):

    ddisoftware, Inc. has just released a significant upgrade to its Qimage photo printing software.  This latest revision comes with UI (user interface) refinements that improve the overall user experience, allowing users to go from original photos to prints of optimal quality more efficiently than ever before.  We've even updated the interface to be touch-aware to support multi-touch monitors and the upcoming Windows 7 touch tablets that will appear on the market later this year.  On these devices, a simple flick of the finger can be used to "throw" thumbnails onto the print page, throw unwanted prints off the page, flip pages forward/back, etc.  This revision has also undergone a comprehensive QA review that has led to a number of bug fixes.  We know that amateurs and professionals alike depend on Qimage to produce optimal quality from their digital photos so we thank our loyal users for the opportunity to bring yet another advancement to the field of digital photo printing!
