I seem to have a problem with QTRGui 2.2.0. I'm sending an image to QTRGui which is 27.7cm x 40cm, to print on A3 paper (which is 29.7cm x 42 cm) at 720ppi. QTRGui tells me that the image won't fit. If I switch between centered placement and specifying the margins manually, I get a variety of errors, including floating point. If I send the image at 360ppi, everything works fine. F_P

What does QTRgui say the image sizes are? Place the mouse cursor over the image thumbnail and a pop-up will show its size. Do this for both the 720 and the 360 dpi images. You can also send me the image and I will see what I can learn from it. -Stephen www.sbillard.org/Stephen

I'm not sure whether to be worried or relieved. Last night I got errors on several occasions. I tried to replicate this tonight, but it seems to work correctly. As our american cousins say, ... go figure! . . | ~~~ F_P --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "Stephen Billard" <stephen@s...> wrote: > What does QTRgui say the image sizes are?

Well, if the problem comes back, capture the image and send it to me. -Stephen www.sbillard.org/Stephen

Stephen This problem has come back. Because it's on A3 at 720dpi, the image that I'm trying to print is 267Mb, and too large to send you. What I'd doing, is printing an image which is 277x400mm on A3 paper (which is 297x420mm) at 720dpi. The image has been output from Qimage. When I try to open this image (from Qimage) in QTRGui, I am told that the image doesn't fit. When I hold the mouse over the thumbnail in QTRGui, I get "7852x11339 in" for the image size. This looks to me as if it is reading the pixel size and interpreting it as inches. If I output *exactly* the same image from Qimage at 360dpi, and then open this in QTRGui, all appears well. The measurements are correct (albeit in inches - 10.906x15.747 in) I don't get this problem at all when printing on A4.

Please download the TIFF tag viewer from http://www.awaresystems.be/imaging/tiff/astifftagviewer.html. This software will let you see what the TIFF tags of the image file say. My guess it that the image does not have a correct RESOLUTIONUNIT value. Anyway, tell me what the values of: RESOLUTIONUNIT, IMAGEWIDTH, IMAGELENGTH, XRESOLUTION, and YRESOLUTION are. -Stephen www.sbillard.org/Stephen

XResolution (1 Rational): 360 YResolution (1 Rational): 360 ResolutionUnit (1 Short): Inch Software (36 ASCII): ImageLib by SkyLine Tools, Inc. TIFF ~~~~~~~ I can't see anything fundamentally different between the two of them, other than DPI. I ommitted to say in my previous post that I had opened the image in PSCS to check the size and resolution, and the 720dpi version seemed alright. This morning I tried again. I first tried to open the 720 DPI version in QTRGui using "Image | Select Image ..." , and I got an "invalid floating point operation" error message. (Monitoring was turned off.) I then turned monitoring on and moved the image into the monitored directory, and lo and behold, it printed. So I tried again using "Image | Select Image ...", and this time rather than the floating point error, I got the same message as last night - "Image does not fit", with the pixel size interpreted as inches. I then opened the 360dpi version (to "clear" QTRGui of the 720dpi version) and then reopened the 720dpi version again using "Image | Select Image ...". The floating point error returned. This is roughly what happened last time. At the initial attempt nothing I could do (closing other programs, various ways of getting QTRGui to find the image, rebooting) could get QTRGui to correctly read the size parameters. Then a day or so later it worked. Also the nature of the problem seems to vary, with seemingly the same sequence of steps producing different errors.
