Popular Windows imaging utility Qimage has just been updated to a new version, v2008.100, we hear from author Mike Chaney today.
If you're not already familiar with Qimage, it's a program we've mentioned many times on this news page, and one which we rate as one of the most consistently useful (and frequently improved) shareware imaging programs we've discovered. We use it regularly at the Imaging Resource, and its features range from printing (the original forte and reason behind the program's existence) through image editing, to filtering, batch-processing, management, comparison, slide-shows and more.
Qimage v2008.100 is said to focus mainly on performance, with improvements to the program's memory management allowing users to work with much larger photos. The update also includes some minor bug fixes over previous versions, although we don't have specific details as to the changes in question.
A demo of Qimage can be downloaded for a 30-day trial, and the full program is available now to purchase in three versions - either Lite ($34.95), Professional ($49.95), or Studio ($89.95). Details on the differences between the three versions can be found on the Qimage website. A copy on CD can be purchased for a further premium of $10. Existing customers get free lifetime upgrades for their version, and can also opt to upgrade to a higher version of the program for the price difference between the version they have, and the version they desire. The program is available only on the Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, and Vista platforms.

Original Source Press Release:
| Qimage v2008.100 available ddisoftware is pleased to announce Qimage 2008. We're looking forward to 2008 by providing a rock solid foundation with Qimage 2008.100, designed to tackle the most demanding photographic printing jobs. Qimage 2008 includes some minor bug fixes and substantial improvements to memory management, allowing users to view, print, and process much larger photos such as huge stitched panoramas and super high resolution scans of large negatives! v2008.100 has undergone beta testing (thanks to our Studio Edition User's Group) on platforms ranging from Macs running Parallels to XP machines to machines running either x86 or x64 versions of Vista.
Rather than adding new features, we've concentrated on performance with our initial release of Qimage 2008. Our goal is to bring in 2008 with a rock solid performer that has essentially no learning curve for users coming from Qimage 2007. Our future plans for Qimage 2008 include supplying incremental upgrades based on a list of predefined enhancements and allowing our users to prioritize those enhancements by voting (on our Qimage user groups) on the features they need first! By providing incremental upgrades and allowing our Studio Edition User's Group to beta test prior to public release, we will be able to provide higher quality upgrades with minimal impact to users while steadily moving forward to make one of the most renowned printing packages in the world even better! Pick up a copy of Qimage 2008 today and see how Qimage can exceed your photographic printing needs. |
