RE: [Digital BW] plug for QTR and Kokopelli glossy...& a question

2005-01-22 by Stephen Billard

I use Qimage to size pictures. It is designed for that purpose. If you
really must use QTRgui, the approach is to use the scale factor. Hold your
mouse over the image and the hint will tell you what size it is. You will
also be able to right click and set one of the two dimensions to a specific
size.
 
For placement, click and drag the image to about where you want it. The
margins numbers will show you where it is placed. Directly change the
margins for fine tuning.

Subject: [Digital BW] plug for QTR and Kokopelli glossy...& a question




QTRgui does a fabulous job (easy as pie, zero glitches) with inkjet
B&W (2200 and OEM pigments) but I've not figured out how to specify
image size on a print, or how to locate a print accurately on a page
(which we can do with some awkwardness using the Epson printer app).

For example, I'd like to make 6X9 on 8.5X11 and I CAN do that with the
Epson printer app, but I can't do that with QTR...which is near
perfect, for B&W. Grrrr.

Any ideas out there?

Plug: Moab Kokopelli and the standard Epson pigments produce VERY
attractive and subtle selenium-toned look, superb blacks, and an
excellent high gloss in B&W... 

I wish color was as satisfactory gloss-wise... a report in the current
Photoshop User Magazine rates Kokopelli as the very best glossy paper
in all but one test image, but it still looks like glossy color's
further from perfect than is QTR B&W glossy.
