Where's Lightroom? Probably the #1 program for the masses.

Why no choice for Lightroom or for QImage (which is not a RIP)?

Qimage - the best

Another vote for Lightroom (Qimage would be my second choice, PS and any RIP way down the list).

Qimage but I am beginning to use LR. I do like the way you can really see where images are on the page when you right click to enter Qimage's 'edit page' window. Zooming in and out to crop is very easy also.

My whole work flow prints to Qimage.

Phase One-Nikon ingest Capture 1, stitched in Ptgui or PTassembler or fused in Tufuse, cleaned in CS5 printed in Qimage to the 9880 or the 3880.

I use Qimage. It is a bit confusing to get started with it, but it really is an optimal printing solution for a small studio. I originally purchased it because it was able to print beyond the normal lengths when using roll paper. I also was a big fan of its output sharpening algorithm which is as close to fire-and-forget as you are likely to get. Now I use it because it is easy and convenient.

With LR3 being far ahead of LR2 in terms of printing capabilities, for me Qimage slowly gets replaced by LR. At least for sheet paper it is work flow wise so much easier to stay within LR for printing. For roll paper I've started using Mirage which I think is a great application for small studios that don't need a RIP.

Qimage. The video guides are at http://www.ddisoftware.com/qimage-u/learn.htm

Thanks for that link to Qimage videos. First time I noticed this. Must be new?

Qimage. I never print without it.

I'm glad I asked, I had never heard of QImage before. As of now I guess I'll be installing Boot Camp on my Mac and get Windows up and running unless anyone knows of the best Apple software out there. BTW, I'm using the iPF8300.

Thanks for all the input.

Hi,

I use Windows under Parallells on the Mac. It works pretty well. It's a virtualization platform. So you install Parallells and then a complete Windows under Parallell. VMWare works similarly. You can work on Mac OS/X and Windows at the same time.

I use Lightroom for printing but I never use layouts, so that is no recommendation from me.

I'm using Parallells for running some Windows only apps on my Macs, Imatest and XZT Analyzer. Imatest can measure MTF on lens/camera combinations and XZT does 3D analysis of sound from stereo speakers. I also use Parallell for some program development under Linux.

Best regards
Erik

Thanks Erik, I used to use parallels a few years back, I'm sure it's a lot more stable now.
