    Mr. Roussak – could you share with us about the merits of the location that attracted you to taking this image? I could learn by that – this image would not be compelling to me; I find many of your images are compelling so this seems an exception.

    “Jeremy” is fine!

    I was wandering around Venice and saw it. I liked the colours of the house – the green shutters and the red walls – and the bridge. In retrospect, I should have moved further to my left: as far as I recall, there was plenty of space.

    Live and learn.

    All good, but I agree with Mike: the waves shot is stellar.

    Jeff,

    Interesting. I tried LR Print to File and Epson Print Layout, and it did work. I was concerned about loss of quality in going via a JPEG. Qimage One also works nicely, and the interface is easier than the Epson software.

    Can you help me with how I can delete LR and reinstall it without losing all my settings? Is it possible? Might it be worthwhile? The issue does seem to lie with it.

    Jeremy

    Mark,I’ve tried deleting the printer and re-installing, but it made no difference. I’m not sure how to go about re-installing LR without losing presets and other configuration options.

    Today, I’ve downloaded and installed the latest 10.91 driver (from 22nd December), which made no difference; and I’ve tried “printing” a jpeg from within LR and then using Preview to print it, which worked just fine.

    I think it’s looking very much like a bug in LR, although it’s jolly odd that I seem to be the only one with problems. If I knew how to do it, I’d seek help from their tech support.

    Epson’s advice is to reinstall LR, and if that doesn’t work to get in touch with Adobe. I do have both PS and Preview, Mark, and I’ll have a bash at running a print through them before embarking on what I suspect will be a painful time with Adobe’s tech support.

    I think you’re right about the output format, Mark: the image that shows in the printer job manager window seems to have a small “PDF” tag.

    Happily Q1 has saved my time and helped me to stop wasting paper. I’m going to buy a copy. The procedure to print from LR via Q1 isn’t as straightforward as printing from LR but it’s not that much of a hassle.

    Curiously, while I was investigating the “clean cut off” issue, I’ve had problems with the printing just stopping and having to be aborted, leaving a blurred edge (see photo). There seems to be no way of telling which is going to happen.

    Was this taken with a long focal length lens? The foreground, background and the main subject seem all compressed in the same plane. The Gondolier takes the word cliche out of the title …. more like globalized Venice.

    It was taken with a Sony RX10iv. The recorded focal length is 81mm; I think the 35mm equivalent would be around 230mm.

    Well, interesting developments.

    The Q1 issue.

    I emailed Binartem and had a reply from Andrew Wilford (and on a Sunday, too!). He couldn’t reproduce the problem, but when I offered to track it down, he kindly sent me a copy of the code for the LR plugin so I could have a bash at debugging it (I don’t know much lua, but I have hacked together one plugin myself).

    The issue turned out to be simple: the plugin assumes that it would be sitting in /Users/name/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Modules/. However, mine isn’t: I keep my LR application support folder in my Dropbox folder (so it’s kept in sync between my laptop and my desktop machines). As a result, the search for “Library” was failing and “i”, which was the position of “Library” in the path, was nil.

    I fixed it and it now works fine. I must be uniquely perverse.

    Printing

    Q1 printed my image perfectly first time: I asked for it to be 330mm wide by as high as necessary, and that’s exactly what I got. No cropping, and no need to set a custom paper “size”.

    Given that Q1 can do it, and Epson Print Layout can do it, I’m forced to wonder if in fact the problem somehow lies with LR. I’ll see what Epson have to say when they reply to my tech support request. I had tried the “Epson enema”, yes. First time I’d restarted my Mac for nearly two months.

    I have a nagging feeling that this problem arose after I’d installed the latest firmware update, but I might be wrong.

    Anyway, I thought I’d try Qimage One, in case it could do a better job. I’m having difficulties with it too: when I try to send a photo to Q1 from Lightroom, I get an error:

    [string “Q1ExportMenuItem.lua”]:1: attempt to perform arithmetic on local ‘i’ (a nil value)

    Anyone have any ideas?

    It is, yes: I cropped off a very ugly boat. DoF: good point.

    You’re absolutely right, of course. I’ve requested tech support by email.

    The width is intentional: I want an image 33cm x 69cm. It’s just too big to print in landscape.

    I’ve tried again using Epson print layout to print the jpeg “printed” to file by LR, and now have a perfect result (in terms of size). It’s clearly not how things should work, however.
