How many of you are using Qimage, and why?

Is the quality of Qimage prints actually better than what you can get from CS2 or 3?

I see a lot of people using it, but have not tried it yet. Just wondering what people think about it before I try it.

Thanks.

I just posted the response to your question in the previous topic - in a word - yes - it works great. Better IQ, easier to use and it turns out to be a real time saver - especially when you have to print multiple images on a single page. The best way to see if it is right for you is to visit their site and download the demo. You'll wonder why you've been beating your head against the wall using PS for printing.

I agree with Gene. It's a great product, especially for the low cost. It handles resizing, image layout, and final print sharpening really well. The only complaint I generally hear about Qimage is that it's not really all that intuitive. Some of this is the fault of the interface, but if you read the doc and play around you'll soon get the hang. It's quite an extensive product, so if you decide to test it, I would recommend you give it some time before you make up your mind either way. BTW, Qimage is known to have excellent image resizing abilities and I've read posts on other forums where folks have purchased it just for that reason.

Just a quick point of agreeing with the others. It is all I use now for printing. I have found the quality to be better than any that I have ordered from the houses. After I get the final finished it allows me to save the image with the instructions which I put into a file folder for when ever I want to reprint without having to repeat the processes. Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone. Think I'll download the trial and see how I like it. Seems to have some really nice features.
