I already mentioned the broken layout functions ....
Unless you hard code a layout, it is rather tough to use a paper for multiple images efficiently or use an exact paper size fully without borders or cut off parts.
Then of course there is the lack of sharpening control and the missing softproof in the preview window,
Thanks.
I haven't ventured beyond Fixed Size layouts to Multiple Images. I suspect I would revert to PSP :-)

Does QImage work as a stand alone and therefore does it read the ASP xmp?

In simple terms, I am only able to print in Portrait Orientation.
Attempts to use Landscape Orientation fail.

With the actual Printer Orientation, ASP appears to ignore this and just splats out what it sees fit onto a Portrait piece of paper. So I can only use Printer Portrait Orientation.

Any comments or suggestions?
Tadjio I am with you on this one:

I would love to see you turn your any paper that meets your printers width limits sideways to get a landscape full page.

Turning the page is not always an option.....

No, why should it? That would mean it uses the AS raw engine.

You feed 16bit Prophoto TIFFs to Qimage...

cheers
