Tech support at ColorByte confirms that there's no way to change the orientation. They are worried that their customers might become confused the printer lead edge moved to screen right rather than screen bottom. Here's why I want to do this: 1. There's more elbow room for setting the black point than in LR 2. I want to print title and my name under each image ... can't do this easily in LR, and turning everything 90 degrees in IP is a PITA. 3. I will experiment with the split toning capabilities. They are way more sophisticated than LR. Both products are seriously lacking in the annotation dept. In LR, I guess you make multiple virtual copies ... but how do you tell one from another w/o studying the panel settings? This is especially annoying when you're evaluating slight changes in a single control, plus it's too easy to absently mindedly change one of them when you're casually considering what-would-happen-if's. I try to print on paper big enough to keep notes in the margins. -Lew Schwartz On Fri, Mar 13, 2015 at 11:30 AM, Robert Adler <rgacpa at gmail.com> wrote: > Let me know what happens Lew.
