Re: LightRoom 4.3 print module and JPEG dimensions in QTR Gui

2012-12-31 by stephane_bosman

I understand what you are saying.

However, there ARE advantages to using the print module instead of the export module.

The print module allows to design prints with precise positionning on the page, a nice image caption below the photo, etc.. and save them as prints, ready to be used again.

The export module does not allow any of this because, well, it was not made for print.

And printing is what QTR is all about, isn't it?

SO, I'm back to square one, printing to QTR from the LR print module.

I am advancing, though, by using an image converter to convert the jpeg to tif, all automated wih a utility that watches my output folder and run the conversion to tif and outputs to the folder watched by QTR.
