Photo Editor & Printing Software

I am still a PC user and use to shoot Raw with my DSLR. Currently, I am using Capture One for Raw conversion, Picture Window Pro as my photo editor, Qimage for printing. I am seriously considering to switch to the new iMac but there are several questions cannot be resolved. Can anyone give me some advices ?
Both Picture Window Pro and Qimage are only window based software. They don't have Mac version. I really hate to use Photoshop as my photo editor. Qimage can take care the sharpen setting automatically during my pring. You know different medium and print sizes require different sharpening setting. I know there are plug-in for Photoshop can do the same but the problem is I don't want to use photosharp.
Are there any good alternatives if I switched to Mac ?

Aperture handles all print settings within the program. In my limited experience with it so far, print results have been excellent. Suggest you search this forum on "print quality" to see what others have experienced. But it is not an inexpensive program (neither is Photoshop of course). It does not do everything that Photoshop does - for example editing out sections of a photo. It does handle raw well.

  • Cant print photos in Photoshop 12 Photo Editor but can from Organizer

    I cannot print single photos in my Photoshop 12 Elements Photo Editor but I can through the Organizer. I have no problems printing photos from all other software  on my computer.
    This is a recent development.
    I'm using a PC [Windows 7].
    Would reinstalling Photoshop Elements 12 [or 13] resolve the problem or is there a simpler way to get the Photo Editor to print?

  • Just bought my first Mac. I have 1000s of photos on my PC, well organized into folders independent of any organizing software.  I want to do the same on the Mac (i.e., ignore iPhoto) and use basic photo editor. Any suggestions?

    Just bought my first Mac.  Have 1000s of photos well organized in files I created in the Pictures folder on my Windows PC.  I plan to copy everything to the Mac and maintain my "independent" collection rather than dump everything into the iPhoto library. Any suggestions for a basic photo editor similar to MS Photo Gallery that I can use on the Mac?

    Finally, yesterday I bought a WD My Book for Mac 3TB external HD.
    First thing to do is repartition the drive into 1 new partition and reformat as OS X Extended (journaled).  Some WD drives come with software that is not compatible with 10.9 and should not be used. Then follow r4kaufmann87's suggestions.

  • Paper jam when printing photo from Microsoft Photo Editor

    On my C7280, I want to print a photo from Microsoft Photo Editor onto plain 8.5x11 paper. This always produces a paper jam. If I copy/paste the photo into, say, Word, and print from Word, the document prints properly.
    This is not a "false paper jam" - the printer attempts to feed the paper, and jams (and creases) the paper in the attempt.
    In Photo Editor, I explicitly chose "plain paper" and "main tray", rather than automatic settings.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hello @Lonewolf777 ,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you are getting paper jams when printing from your Android device.
    I would like to help.
    Have you tried to print using the HP ePrint app?
    Also, if you are having problems using the in OS print system, install the HP Print Service Plug in.
    It acts like a print driver for your phone.
    If it is already installed, try the old, uninstall and reinstall trick.
    Alternately, you can call the folks over at the HP Cloud Services department.
    Please call our Cloud Services at 855-785-2777.

  • Photo Editor Software

    Hello,
    I have Photoshop Elements 3, I saw version 6 being advertised, I wanted the new version/features.
    I soon learnt to my disappointment that there was no Mac version.
    On investigation there is still not even a version 5 for Mac.
    I have read many reviews on version 4 that are not very glowing, however all was fixed in version 5 and further improved in 6.
    All the other programs I have tried either wont open raw files and/or just don't have the features of elements.
    Aperture looks great but is $499 AU and for that matter Elements 4 for Mac is $163 AU and Version 6 for windows is $155 AU.
    It looks like I have to win Lotto and buy CS3 $1125 AU or put up with with nearly 4 year old software ( Elements 3 ), at least it opens raw files and does the basic editing.
    I just wish we could buy the latest software for Mac, I want to be able to do photo editing with the latest technology for under $200 AU like you can on windows with the 10 or 15 different suites available all trying to beat elements.
    Does anyone know of a photo editor as good as Elements 6 for Mac under $200 ?
    I can't find one, I don't want to go back to windows.
    Please Help,
    Rodney.

    Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh is expected early next year.

  • HP Photo Printing Software - How to change predefined sizes in "Design To Page size:" window?

    I have a HP Photosmart printer, which came with a photo print application, "HP Photo Printing Software", Version 3.9.0.0.  When I try to change the page size of the photo output using the "Design to Page Size:" screen, I see a list of predefined page sizes (e.g., "4x6 w/tab").  However, these predefined sizes (there are 11) can't be changed from within the program.  For example, if I want to print a 4x6 photo with no border, which is a frequent requirement, there seems to be no way to do it.
    How do I change or override these predefined print sizes in this program?  BTW - I have Windows XP on my PC.

    Hi Alex.
    You may want to try HP's new photo-printing program, HP Photo Creations. It's a free download at www.hp.com/go/hppc.
    To print photos at a predefined size, select the Print-at-Home tab (2), then Prints & Posters (3), then the Prints project (4). Then design your print and select your desired size on the printing screen (7).
    Hope this helps,

  • Selphy Photo Print software alternative?

    I was able to use https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5510939 to set up my Selphy CP900 on my MacbookAir - however, the printing software won't install. It's called Selphy Photo Print. I can get the printer to work, but was looking forward to using this software to quickly resize photos. I often print smaller than 4x6 and would like to put more than one photo on a piece of photo paper. I'm familiar with collage-making software on my phone, but don't want to have to make a collage every tme I want to print pics. I'm also not interested in putting photos on a memory card and printing straight from the printer. Any alternatives or work arounds?

    Hello vasiliurobert.
    The CP810 was not sold here in the United States.  This unit appears to be a model that was sold in Europe. 
    Please visit the following link to access the support and download pages for the unit at the Canon Europe website:

  • Photosmart Photo Printing software v 1.5.05

    What Photo Printing software allows "photograper pack" creation?  I want to have several different photos of one or more sizes on a single sheet of paper.  Older printer (Win 95-XP) standard software was this style.  No drivers (x86 or 64 bit) for Windows 7?

    Hello, Mr. Seely.
    Try the collage print project in HP Photo Creations. You can add up to 60 photos to a page and resize them as a group. HP Photo Creations is a free download at www.hp.com/go/hppc.
    Click the Design Tools and then the Photo Layouts tabs to explore different arrangements. This example shows an overlapping arrangement with photo borders on a textured background. The program offers thousands of background styles. You may want to try Plain White or Plain Black to begin. 
    We hope you enjoy HP Photo Creations,

  • When i try to print a photo: select file print a box comes up stating ' no available themes' ' there were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed this feature will be unavailable. ? My iPhoto and hp printer software is up to date.

    When i try to print a photo: select photo>file>print a box comes up stating 'no available themes' ' There were no themes located. Until at least 1 theme has been installed this feature will be unavailable'. Mac OS X/10.8.3, iPhoto 9.4.3, HP printer driver up to date. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    YOu need to reinstall iPhoto.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Is there a replacement for Photosmart Premier photo editor for Windows 8 ?

    I just upgraded to Windows 8 with a new HP computer but I have lost a fabulous photo editor Photosmart Premier. The drivers on my OEM cd would not install so I have downloaded all the drivers for my C4680 colour printer for Windows 8 but Photosmart was not included. Is it called something else now and I have just missed it? Thanx for your consideration. SB

    Hi SnowBird43x80. It does appear the HP Photosmart Premier photo editor is not available for Windows 8.
    The replacement software is called HP Photo Creations and is available here:

  • HP Print Software for MacBook Pro and Windows 7 gone awry on HP OfficeJet Pro 8600

    Almost one year ago today I wrote a post about my first problem with HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 N911.  Today I write my last.
    I have an HP OJP 8600, with option Tray 2 included, and auto feed included.  My system test computers are:
    1.  Apple MacBook Pro, OS X 9.5, HP software is the only 3rd party software.
    2.  HP Laptop, Windows 7.
    The OJP wireless radio gave up, so I cannot run it wirelessly.  It is connected by ethernet to my router.  All five of my computers can use.  All of the functions of the printer are usable.  For example: it prints, it scans, it copies, it faxes.  All functions working.  My problem is with the HP software download to the Apple and to the HP Laptop.
    I would like to be able to use all of the feature settings when I print.  But alas, I cannot.  Both the Apple and the HP Laptop have a similar appearing window that opens when you choose to print something.  In theory, you are supposed to be able to control a range of paper types and quality, print type and quality, and (in my case with the two trays) what tray to use to select the paper.
    I regret neither of the computers perform these functions.  And all of the mistakes that I find on the Apple computer I find on the HP Laptop Windows 7 computer.
    I don't have the time to test every combination.  But I think the table below will help you get an idea of what the problem is with the software that HP sends offshore for maintenance.
    The results of the paper quality selection, the print quality selection, and the tray availability are as follows:
    PAPER              PRINT QUALITY                         TRAY AVAILABILITY
    Plain Paper
    Plain Paper  DRAFT/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray              Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2
    Thick Paper  DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray         Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
    HP Bright    DRAFT/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray              Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2
    InkJet
    Other        DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray         Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
    HP Bright    DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray         Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
    Specialty
    Other        DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray         Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
    Card         DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray         Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
    Brochure
    HP Brochure  DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray         Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
    Other        DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray         Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
    In summary the new HP Print software for Apple and Windows 7 computers has identical programming mistakes on both operating systems.  Under no circumstances can I use the MAX DPI setting.  
    The user cannot use the features that are built in to the HP software because the paper selections override the locked tray, the print quality, and the unusually small list of HP selection of papers.
    It is time to invoke my warrenty rights.  There are too many systemic problems with the software and the device.  I don't have any more time to act as an unpaid system test analyst for HP.
    Who do I contact to use my warrenty before it runs out in a few weeks?

    Hi,
    Those are not programming mistakes, but those are limitations of the product, please check the printer specifications below:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02858465&tmp_track_link=ot_faqs/top_issues/en_u...
    As you may find under Paper-handling specifications > Paper tray capacities, Tray 2 only support Plain Paper.
    Maximum DPI is only only supported on Photo Paper, therefore those limitations are applicable.. these limitations are also listed on the Printing Specifications section above, Maximum DPI is listed as 4800 by 1200 dpi:
    Color print resolution: HP enhanced photo quality with Vivera inks (up to 4800 by 1200 dpi Optimized on HP Premium Plus photo papers with 1200 x 1200 input dpi)
    As well that can be find listed within the Print photos on photo paper or the Print borderless documents sections, you may simply search for Maximum DPI within the user guide as a reference:
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03026243.pdf
    Those are not an issues with the printer but those expected limitations fully meet the product specification.

  • Cannot start HP Printing Software (HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910a)

    Hello,
    When I doubleclick on the HP Software icon on my desktop strange behavior results. Nothing opens and my computer behaves erratically. After quite a while I get the following error messages:
    instancefinderdlg.exe
    werfault.exe
    Then, after this - my computer sort of reboots all by itself. But not a full reboot - it just goes back to the initial logon screen and I re-enter my Windows password, and the desktop shows.
    I am running Windows 8.1 Pro (64 bit). The printer is set up to operate wirelessly. 
    After doubleclicking on the HP Software icon and waiting a long time for the software to open, as I mentioned above, one thing I tried was a ctrl-alt-del and opened Task Manager. I checked the services running and there was multiple instances of an HP service running (I don't recall the name but there seemed to be dozens of the same HP service running).
    I also completely uninstalled all HP software using Revo Uninstaller, and then re-installed the complete software / driver package for the OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910a - but this did not make any difference; exactly the same problems ocurred again. 
    This has only happened in recent days. Prior to this I was able to doubleclick on the HP software icon and the software opened normally and I was able to check settings, ink levels, etc. Interestingly, the printer still seems to function well - I can print from Word, print photos from Lightroom, etc. I just can't open the HP Printer Software from my desktop.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
    This question was solved.

    Hello again,
    I tried the first part but it did not work.
    However, the second more detailed part (with the 9 steps), appears to have worked! I now can double-click on the HP Printer icon and everthing functions as it used to previously.
    I would like to take this opportunity to thank you very, very much! You have been very patient with me as a customer and very persistent and determined to find a solution. Over the course of several days you suggested various possible solutions. When something did not work, you did not give up but continued to search for a solution. You really are a very fine example of what customer service should be. You deserve a big raise! Thanks again.
