Digital BW, The Print

Wow. I have exactly the same problem and assumed it was operator error on my
part. I also like the results I an getting but it's a pain to use, as you
point out.

Why does Qimage appear to convert grayscale images to rgb? I am using Qimage
to rescale images for printing with QTR/QTRgui. I want it to resample, apply
smart sharpening, maintain the embedded profile, and save the file to the
QTRgui watched folder.

Since I print to a file I have another frustration that may be operator
error. When printing to a file in Qimage I need to set the "paper size" to
the image print size, but can find no way to do it other than reading the
image size in Photoshop and then entering those numbers by hand into the
Qimage dialog box. Sometimes I even need to add just a tiny bit of size to
the image to make sure it doesn't spill over into multiple pages. Am I
missing something? Qimage can read the image size from the file so why do I
need to enter by hand? I hope I am missing something.

Subject: [Digital BW] QTR Gray Profiles and Qimage




Anybody using the new QTR gray-matte or photo printer profiles when
printing to file with Qimage?  I don't think it's possible as Q
converts the image to rgb and then chokes on the gray-matte profile.
I had to print to file as rgb without a profile and then take it in to
Photoshop to convert to grayscale and add the gray-matte profile.
Then I could print with QTR.

We really need to convince Mike Chaney to add grayscale printing
capability to Qimage.

I like the results though awkward as it is.
