Photo sizes & printing workflow
Your photos.
The sizes you want.
Print different photos at different sizes on one page, or build a job that spans several sheets. Choose the photos and sizes you need; Qimage handles the layout and print processing.
Start with your photos.
Open Qimage and browse to any folder containing images.
Or start in your editor.
Send your edited images from Photoshop, Lightroom or Elements with the optional Adobe plugins. Qimage opens the export catalog automatically.
Where to find the commands
In Photoshop, choose File, Automate, Qimage Ultimate to export the images in your open tabs. In Lightroom, choose File, Plug-In Extras, Qimage Ultimate to export your selected images.
See plugin optionsChoose your photos.
Select the thumbnails you want to print, then open Print Properties to choose sizes.
Pick your sizes.
Choose a standard or custom print size for each photo. Here, an 8x10 and a 5x7 of each selected photo go into the same job.
Let Qimage arrange them.
Qimage fits prints together automatically and adds pages as needed. Drag and drop whenever you want to customize the layout.
Mix sizes as you go. Change your mind anytime.
Choose one photo at 5×7, another at 4×6 twice, then add an 8×10 of a third. Qimage arranges the job as you add prints, using as many pages as needed. You can also enter custom dimensions for a frame or project.
Need that 4×6 to be a 5×7 instead? Select the print and choose the new size. Qimage automatically rearranges and repaginates the job to make room.
See how print quality adapts to the sizeNext time, start where you left off.
Choose your printer, paper, profile and driver options on the Settings tab. Qimage recalls settings by printer and media type, and you can save named setups for different papers or projects.
Every printed job is also saved automatically. Reopen one to recall the photos, layout, Qimage settings and driver settings instead of reconstructing them from memory. Whether you’re batch printing customer orders or returning after a few weeks, your setup is ready to recall.
Keep the original image files available for job recall. For a printer that sits idle between sessions, explore scheduled purge sheets and nozzle checks.
Try it with your own photos.
Give Qimage a print job and see how the workflow feels.
