I suggest to rename "other" in the poll to "Qimage". and I will vote

Give Credit where Credit is due.

Using Qimage for I guess 10 years or so. Have a RIP but never use it.

I print through the Canon Plug-in with 8300 and do the layout in Photoshop. I used to use ImagePrint on my Epson 9800 and while the proxy layout in that program is quick and convenient, the quirkiness of ImagePrint seemed to negate much it's value as a speedy alternative to doing a layout in Photoshop. A couple of big pages have been a slog, such as laying out eight 5"x110" strips of 16 bit 300 dpi images. Photoshop slows down mightily on those! Most of the time, on pages 44"x36" or smaller, layout of multiple images is not difficult.

One other advantage of ImagePrint was that multiple pictures did not have to be of the same resolution or color space profile to lay out, but they do have to match when laying out a large page in Photoshop.

And now, there's only to rename "other" as "Lightroom" and it will be just perfect... ;D

So I've made the jump, I've got Parallels and Windows 7 (feelin' sorry for all who have to use that daily) and Purchased QImage Ultimate and should be getting my code sometime in the next day or 2. From the looks of the videos online, QImage is going to be great. I really appreciate all your comments and help!

No comparison - Qimage has it all over Lightroom 3.3 (soft proofing is built in) and Photoshop CS5 is a very distant 3rd for printing and layouts. Qimage uses templates better than LR and once one gets over the interface approach (watch the videos), pretty much everything else in LR as well.

Qimage is a great program, I think I started using it the day it came out.  However, if you are using LR3.3 for image editing I would recommend just printing from there.  LR3.3 is great for printing layouts today and qimage has become almost superfluous.  I can understand using Qimage if you need it, but for most LR3.3 will be quicker and easier.
