Digital BW, The Print

Qimage is really designed for a production environment such that a busy
photo studio might have. For printing one offs it is really overkill.  The
user interface is somewhat idiosyncratic and less than intuitive. I have
used it for some years now but primarily for printing color photos when I
need numbers of 
An assortment of images. It does a fine job of interpolating, probably
better than Photoshop when you have a need to resize up.  It is relatively
inexpensive and having bought it, upgrades, which are frequent, are free for
life. It has a useful trial period that should allow you to see if it fits
your particular situation and is long enough to gain some degree of
familiarity.

I don¹t use it for serious B&W work since QTR and my sturdy 2200 do the job
as well as I could ever want.
